From test kitchen to Mexico-wide reporting

Rick Martinez built a following through video recipe series produced for a major food media outlet, then expanded that work into his cookbook "Mi Cocina," built around months of travel and cooking across Mexico's regions. His approach pairs recipe development with reporting on where dishes and techniques come from.

A Texas-rooted perspective on Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking

Martinez grew up in Texas, and his public work often bridges Tex-Mex home cooking with the regional Mexican traditions it draws from, including grilling, marinating, and tortilla technique directly relevant to fajitas.
