Casa Marcela: Recipes and Food Stories of My Life in the Californias

I simply love this beautiful cookbook! I haven't had this book for that long but have made several recipes from it. Every single recipe has been excellent. The Jalapeño Roasted Chicken is perfection; chicken is just right with a hint of spice and the potatoes placed underneath the chicken were a welcomed addition! I think I have made this 3 or 4 times since receiving this book about 2 months ago! I just made the Kale Potato Enchiladas and was very happy with its taste! Nice to have a vegetarian dish. She has some lamb dishes that are very flavorful and I recommend them. The salmon with tomatillos was also yummy. This is a gorgeous book and fun to read. Many stylists were used to help make this book so pretty and their efforts came though. This is the first book I have bought from this chef, but I may have to consider others as I am very happy with it!

An amazing cookbook. Loved all the recipes and the photos. Enjoyed flipping through the pages and admiring the family fotos. All the recipes are delicious. A must have cookbook by far.

The most beautiful cookbook (it's much more than that) I have ever purchased. Such thought and caring went into putting this together. As I read it I felt a part of Marcela's world. Thank you Marcela for sharing your talents, history, culture, family, friends and delicious cuisine. Now I just need a garden like hers.

Have been waiting for this book to come out for months and it did not disappoint, woo hoo!!! Love the recipes, yummy and accessible things I can cook for my family and friends....the pictures are so so beautiful and love seeing all her home and cute family pics. So excited to finally have this book!!

There's no words. This book is a masterpiece! I am Mexican and I'm amazed on how true to tradition these recipients are while having a fresh and original take on them! I'm not intimidated by any of these amazing dishes and I'm sure I'll impress even the toughest guest!!! Also. The book is like a work of art. The pictures and the quality is just breathtaking. So proud of this beautiful Chef. Go Chef MARCELA!!!! 🙌👏💪❤️ Everyone has to have this book in their kitchen NOW!!!

This cookbook has maybe 10 pictures of the actual recipes. The rest of them are just pictures of Marcela or one is a picture of limes - cause I wondered what they were referring to when they mentioned limes in the recipe....You eat with your eyes so a cookbook with out pictures is a picture book without pictures- useless!

A beautiful book with mouth watering recipes!!! Excited to make all of them! Thank you Chef Marcela

This book has everything you need to know about making a traditional Mexican meal. This book has so much color and happy pages of a beautiful happy family makes me want to cook every day with Marcela.Can't wait to make my favorite dessert Conchas.
