Paola Briseño González’s first cookbook, Pacífico: Bright Recipes from Vallarta and the Mexican Coast, has sold at auction in a six-figure deal to Raquel Pelzel in one of her first acquisitions at Voracious. Born in Puerto Vallarta, Briseño González will bring her extensive expertise — as a recipe developer, Los Angeles Times and New York Times contributor, and author of the Substack newsletter Fresca — to the new cookbook, which will feature more than 100 dishes highlighting the ingredients, artisans, and cultural traditions of the unique tropical region of the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
