Curated Cuisine: “Plantas” author Alexa Soto's Mexican cooking with a modern, vegan twist

WBUR senior correspondent Deborah Becker sat down for a conversation with recipe creator, mental health advocate and food blogger Alexa Soto to discuss her new cookbook, “Plantas: Modern Vegan Recipes for Traditional Mexican Cooking.” A vegan for nearly a decade, Soto wanted to create a book that pays homage to her Mexican heritage and celebrates the array of fruits and vegetables that make up the staples of this beloved cuisine by recreating traditional recipes with a vegan twist. The book offers dishes that are simple, affordable and healthy — everything from jackfruit mushroom carnitas tacos to cauliflower al Pastor and lasagna de mole.
