In Edith's Kitchen: Recipes From My Mostly Mexican-American Home to Yours
The long-awaited first cookbook from one of social media’s biggest stars, Edith Galvez, featuring the mouthwatering comfort food and delicious Mexican American recipes her millions of fans have been longing for.
Edith Galvez spent her childhood summers at her family’s ranch in Mexico, mesmerized by her abuela’s culinary magic in the kitchen. Every trip to town was an adventure filled with tantalizing street foods from plaza vendors, like flavorful esquites (charred corn salad) and refreshing paletas (fruit ice pops). Inspired by both her abuela and her mother’s skills in the kitchen, Edith found that cooking was a beautiful way to connect with her roots as she started a family of her own.
Initially, Edith began posting ASMR-style cooking videos on TikTok, keeping it low-key with no talking, as a way to manage her anxiety and embrace her natural shyness. Then, her video featuring chicken tinga tostada skyrocketed to fame, racking up over 10 million views. As her follower count soared, she discovered that her nonspeaking videos resonated deeply with the Latino community, breaking down language barriers that otherwise prevent them from resonating with other social media videos. Soon, seasoned cooks craving to learn about authentic Mexican cuisine flocked to her channel too. While many of her beloved recipes, like the viral chile rellenos, celebrate Mexican flavors, she also enjoyed surprising her audience with unexpected hits, like a carbonara-inspired pasta dish, among others.
Once Edith finally started opening up and chatting on camera, fans went wild. Now, her highly anticipated cookbook is here. In Edith’s Kitchen has delicious dishes for every meal of the day and is a perfect addition to any home chef’s collection.

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.

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.
