Northern New Mexico Subsistence Farming and Food History, with author Liddie Martinez In-Person
Liddie will take us on a delightful journey tracing foods and recipes from Spain in the 1500s through Mexico and the Aztec Empire, into the Española Valley in 1598 and to her farm today.
Liddie Martinez has deep roots in the Española Valley. She learned about farming and food preparation from her grandmother and mother, and a great deal about the history of southwestern foods from her work on the establishment of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail.
Liddie has a monthly food column in the Los Alamos Daily Post where she shares traditional Northern New Mexican recipes with her readers. She is passionate about cultural preservation, and in 2019 published a cookbook documenting historic Northern New Mexican recipes that have been passed down orally in her family, generation to generation, over the last four centuries. Her cookbook, The Chile Line: Historic Northern New Mexican Recipes, is available through Los Alamos Publisher, Pajarito Press. Liddie lives with her husband, Rick in the Española Valley on their family farm.
