A lesser-known passion of iconic artist Frida Kahlo was her deep love for traditional Mexican cuisine—especially the vibrant flavors of Oaxaca, her mother’s birthplace. From mole and tamales to enchiladas and market strolls in Coyoacán, food was both a comfort and creative outlet for Frida. Her own “Mole Poblano” recipe, a rich chocolate-chili sauce, is now proudly displayed in the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City.

This beautifully crafted cookbook pays tribute to Kahlo’s culinary world with authentic, time-honored recipes that reflect the heart of Mexican gastronomy. With vivid, artful photography and rich storytelling, it features the building blocks of Mexican cuisine—fresh tortillas, robust moles, fiery salsas, hearty beans, and refreshing beverages—alongside beloved classics like tacos, enchiladas, chilaquiles, posole, flan, and tres leches cake.

Author Mara de Anda Castellanos explores Kahlo’s relationship with food and its historic ties to Mexican identity and art. Fans of Kahlo will discover a new dimension of her creativity, while food lovers will savor the textures, flavors, and traditions captured in every recipe.
