Vitamina T: Your Daily Dose of Tacos, Tortas, Tamales, and More Mexican Street Food Classics
$35
Vitamina T takes its name from the colloquial expression for Mexico’s unofficial food group — tacos, tortas, tamales, and other everyday street food staples that, you guessed it, begin with the letter T. The book gathers more than 100 recipes that approach these classics with both respect and invention. Chef Fermín Núñez of Austin’s Suerte and Este joins Jorge Gaviria, founder of Masienda and bestselling author of MASA, to draw on their shared experiences in professional kitchens and on the streets of Mexico to show how these traditions continue to evolve, and how they can be enjoyed at home.

The recipes are delicious, and the photography is gorgeous. Most importantly, I love how Mexicans [are placed] front and center throughout the book.

The Story of Us
Jorge and Fermín first bonded over a shared love of traditional Mexican food and loyalty to heirloom corn. What started as a product partnership (Fermín’s famed Tortillas hat!) evolved into discussions about how much mayo was too much on a torta (answer: there’s no such thing) and whether using yellow onions in Mexican cooking is sacrilege.
Join Jorge and Fermín on a consciousness-expanding tour of contemporary Mexican street food like Roasted Butternut Squash Tostadas, Smash Burger Tacos, and Duck in Mole Negro Tamales. Ven a comer, friends.
