As is my process, read the cookbook then read the author's bio. This mostly Mexican-influenced cookbook filled with familiar dishes is just okay. Recipes were easy enough to follow but seem to underestimate the total cooking time by not including adequate time for prepping ingredients before cooking them. The food styling and book design are attractive.
While reading I wondered who this author was and what precipitated publishing a cookbook. The acknowledgement and bio informed me what I suspected, she is a social media personality and the publisher clearly thought it made sense to capitalise on her popularity. I did check out her socials and she does make engaging ASMR food content and she is very likeable. Since I enjoyed watching her videos much more than reading her book I am guessing those who are already fans will likely appreciate this book most.

Edith Galvez got into cooking as a way to manage her postpartum depression and anxiety. Her husband introduced her to ASMR videos as another way to calm down and she decided, as a shy person, she could share her cooking through ASMR herself. This turned out to be great for her Spanish-speaking audience because they could learn her recipes visually. She quickly became a TikTok sensation and now she’s got her own cookbook of family recipes. I liked almost everything I made! However, I was a bit frustrated because I felt whoever made and staged her food for the book did not follow the recipes (they had to have modified ingredients and/or quantities to make the food more visually appealing) and I think for many beginning cooks, they’d feel they did something wrong and would be discouraged. Thank you for the gifted copy, Simon Element. #elementalreaders

Here’s what I made:
🍋 Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake- the glaze recipe is 100% incorrect. As written, you’ll still essentially have lemon juice! Add 4 times as much powdered sugar if you try this one. The cake is good though.
🧀 Sopa de Queso con Papas- this blew my mind. Somehow this soup tastes EXACTLY like Zuppa Toscana from Olive Garden. Queso panela plus the heat from poblanos felt like sausage? Just try it.
🍗 Chicken with Alfredo Pasta- this sauce is loaded with butter (that was used to cook chicken) and spices so there’s no way you’re gonna get a normal looking Alfredo sauce like in the book. And with 8 oz of cream cheese in addition to heavy cream, it is super heavy and rich.
🐷 My Mom’s Ham and Cheese Spaghetti- holy this was so good. Reminded me of my own mom’s ham casserole. I did not want to stop eating it!
🥔 Potato Wedges- my request here would be a weight instead of number of potatoes because they ended up over-seasoned. There’s definite potential though and I’m sure I’ll try again with some modifications.

Another social media influencer has a cookbook. The recipes are average and most home cooks should be able to prepare them. Most recipes have a photo. If you are a fan of Edith’s or need a decent Mexican-ish cookbook, you might want to add this to your cookbook shelf.
