A Cultural Convergence Cookbook | Foods of the Indigenous Southwest, Mexico & Spain (eBook)

Editor - Ana Pacheco

490 Recipes for $7.99!

Diverse cultural influences define the history of New Mexico and the singular facet of life that has brought people together is our food. The regional cuisine of the indigenous Southwest, Mexico and Spain has culminated into a food explosion that has spread throughout the country. Today, it’s not uncommon to find green chile roasting as far away as Brooklyn. It used to be that you had to get a relative to mail out ingredients to cook the foods from your childhood. Not anymore. All you need to do is type “New Mexico Food” in your browser and an array of businesses pop up ready to send you everything from chile to the locally sourced herbs and spices that make New Mexico dishes so unique. 

Through my books, blogs, videos, tours and podcasts I continue to share New Mexico history. Now I’ve repurposed A Cultural Convergence Cookbook into a convenient electronic format. Formally entitled Las Comidas de los Abuelos (The Foods of Our Grandparents), this historic guide features 490 recipes from food contributors from around the state. I’ve also included a guide to companies that will ship ingredients right to your door. Our New Mexico cuisine highlights the food that has nourished generations of people with recipes brought from Spain, Mexico and those created by the indigenous people that settled this region more than a thousand years ago. Even if you don’t live in New Mexico, A Cultural Convergence Cookbook will help you understand why our state is referred to as “The Land of Enchantment.”
