Hi! My name is Andrea Aliseda and I’m a Mexican-American freelance writer originally from the border of Tijuana, B.C. and San Diego, CA currently living in Los Angeles, CA.
My work seeks to unearth and understand Mexican-American culture and identity through personal essays, dishes, ingredients, and recipes with a vegetarian lens. When I’m not writing about food, I write fiction and poetry. Otherwise, you can find me in the kitchen (cooking, or eating), listening to podcasts, tending to my garden, or hanging with my partner and pup.
This newsletter is an exploration of the many nuances that being a vegan Mexican immigrant living in the United States through food, its history, and its future brings; share plant-based recipes that celebrate produce and creativity, while also allowing space to muse on meditations of the moment unrelated to food.
I have been published in Whetstone, Bon Appétit, Food Network, Edible Manhattan, and more. And, most excitingly, I’m currently working on my first plant-based Mexican cookbook as part of a series with Mehreen Karim, Srishti Jain, and Ria Elciario, for Workman Publishing.
Currently, writing and recipe development are my life’s work, and I welcome you to support me by becoming a paying subscriber. However, I very much welcome you to join the ‘stack for free, and if you enjoy, please do share this with your friends!
As always, thank you for being here, reading, and supporting my work.
