“Viva Vegan” bursts onto the scene like a mariachi band on a fiesta morning – vibrant, joyous, and overflowing with culinary delights. This cookbook, crafted by the esteemed Mexican chef, Rosalía Vargas, is not merely a collection of recipes; it’s a love letter to vegan cuisine infused with the spirit of Mexico.

Rosalía, a renowned advocate for plant-based eating, invites readers on a journey through her homeland’s vibrant culinary landscape.
