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.
