Rosetta by Elena Reygadas

Rosetta: A Culinary Journey Through Mexican Tradition and Innovation

Rosetta is more than a cookbook; it’s a thoughtful exploration of Mexico’s culinary heritage through the lens of chef Elena Reygadas, owner of the beloved Mexico City restaurant of the same name. Since opening in 2010, Rosetta has redefined Mexican dining with its ingredient-driven cuisine, blending tradition with innovation and emphasizing sustainability through partnerships with local producers.

In this debut book, Reygadas shares a collection of signature recipes, past and present, while offering personal reflections on food, culture, and memory. She delves into the social and environmental challenges of industrialized agriculture and highlights Mexico’s lesser-known ingredients, underscoring her deep respect for the country’s culinary legacy.

Accolades from renowned chefs such as Alice Waters and Nancy Silverton celebrate Reygadas’ talent not just as a chef but as a creator of sensory experiences. With evocative photography and insightful essays, Rosetta invites readers into a world where every meal is a celebration of place, culture, and the shared joy of food.
