Shava Cueva and Ricardo Bonilla "Beverages of Oaxaca is a work that documents and allows the reader to delve into the history, use, and significance of more than 87 beverages traditionally consumed in this Mexican state. These beverages demonstrate the vast knowledge that the different Oaxacan peoples have developed to harness and transform their natural resources into beverages that nourish the body, quench thirst, heal illnesses, feed the spirit, and connect with higher energies." "This publication is also a wake-up call that invites us to reflect on the beverages currently consumed in Mexico and the state of Oaxaca. The high consumption of soft drinks and ultra-processed beverages with high sugar content, flavorings, and chemical additives are making the population of Oaxaca sick and, in turn, putting the continuity of traditional beverages at risk." However, in this work, Oaxaca shows us the richness of its traditional knowledge, which must be fostered to recover the identity, health, and good nutrition of its people.

Enjoy this magnificent work through its pages, its texts, and its photographs. Imagine the taste, smell, and meaning of each of these preparations. If you are Oaxacan, be proud of your culture and promote its survival and transmission to new generations. Travel and discover Oaxaca, immerse yourself in its culture, and enjoy its wonderful traditional beverages." Rafael Mier, Director of the Tortilla Foundation.
