“This book perfectly captures the essence of being a Californian who grew up around bonfires, fishermen, ranchers, and farmers. David’s stories transport me to my own upbringing, like his, on this beautiful peninsula replete with burritos, ceviches, and grilled meats. He’s a chef with so much talent, and a big heart—someone who knows how to enjoy his people and his surroundings. ¡Viva Baja!”—Javier Plascencia, chef-owner of Finca Altozano and Jazamango
“What a great book! Baja is one of the most special places in Mexico—unparalleled seafood, rustic wood-fired cooking, venerated wine country with world-class chefs. Having grown up there in a family of fishermen and ranchers, David shares an intimate awareness of all that makes Baja extraordinary. As one of the region’s leading chefs, he reflects why Baja is becoming a favorite travel destination.”—Rick Bayless, chef-owner of Chicago’s Frontera Grill and host of public television’s Mexico: One Plate at a Time
“This book transported me to so many delicious memories. It’s a great collection of vibrant recipes as well as insights on Baja’s unique ingredients and how to achieve the best flavor. David is an expert in Baja cooking and this is exactly the food you want to eat when in Baja!”—Rosio Sanchez, chef-owner of Copenhagen’s Hija de Sanchez and Sanchez cantina
