The Rosetta Notebooks are published as part of an innovative project at the Mexico City restaurant led by Chef Elena Reygadas. Each volume offers a short, incisive text written by a renowned scholar who explores aspects of food culture, health, and environmental concerns. Chef Reygadas notes: I’m convinced that we should also consider our work as cooks beyond its hedonistic function. In a world like ours—devastated by climate change, social inequality, systemic violence, sexism, racism, and the degradation of political life, to mention just a few of many ills—a restaurant should provide a platform for reflection and positive contributions to society. Alyshia Gálvez, a cultural and medical anthropologist who is Professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at the City University of New York, excerpts here her 2018 book also titled Eating NAFTA . She links policy decisions made in the US and Mexico in the name of international commerce, to a range of public health consequences and loss of economic independence for people least able to adapt to a system in which they have little-to-no control. References for further reading are included for anyone interested in deeper examination of these issues. In Spanish and English. Paperback. Staplebound. 8 ⅛” x 10 ⅝”. 48 pages.
