El Bajío: Recipes & Wanderings Through Mexico’s Heartland is the fourth volume of a series developed in partnership with Belmond, offering an exclusive window into culinary communities around the world.
The latest edition features atmospheric photography by Heather Sten, luxuriating in the striking colours and textures across lively markets and sweeping farmlands of this distinct area of Mexico. Enrique Olvera introduces this dynamic region tucked within Mexico’s lowlands, while food writer Alonso Ruvalcaba takes us through vineyards, an ecological farm, and on trips to harvest cactus and garambullo berries, as well as discovering how vibrant tortillas are stamped and cooked over open flames.
Alongside these wanderings, this Mexican cookbook offers 24 delicious dishes and drinks. From ornate ceremonial tortillas to inventive twists on tradition, El Bajío is part invitation and part evocative ode to the heart of Mexico.
