ABOUT THE AUTHOR & THEIR BOOK:
Rogelio Garcia - Born in Mexico, and raised in Northern California with deep connections to local farmers, Rogelio Garcia’s cooking showcases Mexican culinary techniques and locally sourced ingredients. At the age of 31, he earned his first Michelin star, one of only a handful of Mexican chefs worldwide to do so, and something he has now achieved at three different restaurants, including most recently (2023, 2024) at Auro at The Four Seasons, Calistoga. 

Andréa Lawson Gray - Food historian Andréa Lawson Gray's first book, Celebraciones Mexicanas: History, Traditions, and Recipes, was "the first book to bring the richness and authenticity of the foods of Mexico’s main holidays and celebrations to the American home"; and is shelved in the Harvard and Cambridge libraries. She is the founder of Private Chefs of the SF Bay, and prior to her work as a private chef and food writer, she had a storied career as a brand marker for Fortune 500 companies.

Convivir: Modern Mexican Cuisine in California's Wine Country - Convivir, which means “to live together,” celebrates the flavorful interweaving of traditional Mexican cuisine with the agricultural and artisanal abundance of California’s wine country.

Michelin-starred chef Rogelio Garcia takes inspiration from the local farms, ranches, and sustainable fisheries and showcases his gastronomical heritage with more than 150 delectable recipes, including Sopes with Sonoma Artichokes Three Ways, San Francisco Sourdough Flour Tortillas, Agridulce Chicken Wings with Verde Goddess Dressing, and Lavender Custard Pie with Masa Sucree Crust. In addition to providing basic techniques, recipe variations, wine-pairing suggestions, and curated menus that focus on traditional Mexican holidays, 

Convivir invites you to come together in the sacred space of a shared table and delight in the rich culinary history of Mexico.
