When Yadira Martinez makes her son's favorite dish it feels like he is back home, so she and other mothers decided to share recipes in a cookbook dedicated to their missing children.
"When I prepare his eggs I feel that he's here, that he'll come and sit down to eat with us," Martinez said at her house in Irapuato in Guanajuato, one of Mexico's most violent states.
Most disappearances have taken place since 2006, when the government deployed the military in the war on drugs, leading to a spiral of violence. Karla Jimenez shared a recipe for enchiladas, the favorite dish of her brother Juan Valentin, who disappeared, aged 37, in 2020."We all have a favorite dish. We have all cooked with love for someone, or someone cooked for us with love," said Zahara Gomez Lucini, the photographer behind the project.
Armed police guarded the mothers from the dangers posed by criminal groups -- a reflection of the risks they face even looking for the missing.
