America’s great Southwest was born of many cultures, and a meal there reflects the diverse influences (and languages) of Native Americans, Mexicans, Spanish explorers, and herds of cow- boys, all of whom played vital roles in defining and redefining what is perhaps the most unique part of the United States. While Texas takes its culinary cues from the cowboy, neighboring Mexico, and some honest- to-goodness “Chili Queens,” Arizona menus are often inspired by both desert and mountains, an abundance of locally grown produce, and nearby California. New Mexican food is a genre all its own, neither Tex-Mex nor Mexican, but a slowly achieves high pop culture status as the aptly named Frito pie. evolved fusion of Native American recipes, The tales of how chili was created are as varied as its ingredients from regional ingredients, and south-of-the-border tra- cook to cook.

  • The 10 Essential Ingredients of a True New Mexican Kitchen— Regardless of Your Zip Code
    Tasting NM / classics Back to Basics The 10 essential ingredients of a true New Mexican kitchen— regardless of your zip code. by PETER BG SHOEMAKER I’M NOT A NATIVE New Mexican, but I eat like one. And I’m getting to the point where I’d like to cook like one as well. So it seemed a good idea to explore and share what real New Mexican cooks think are the most important ele- ments in a New Mexican kitchen. My first stop was a series of cookbooks produced in the 1960s by the women of the Española Hospital Auxiliary. The recipes in the hand-illustrated, photocopied, and hand-stapled booklets were divided among Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo dishes, and very useful for cluing me in on particular ingredients. I then spent some time with Janet Malcolm, chef and manager of the famed restaurant Rancho de Chimayó—which just received a James Beard America’s Classics Award—to find out what a lifelong New Mexican cook cooking for discerning New Mexicans con- Clockwise from above: Piñon siders important.

  • ALBUQUERQUE VISITOR's GUIDE Prepared for FJC National
    ALBUQUERQUE VISITOR’S GUIDE Prepared for FJC National Workshop for Bankruptcy Judges (April 18-20, 2016)1 A. A Very Short Introduction to Albuquerque Albuquerque is New Mexico’s metropolis, with an area population of about 900,000. The next biggest city, Las Cruces, has about 200,000, while Santa Fe tallies a paltry 150,000. True, Santa Fe is much older, has tons of history, and is much more of a tourist destination, but Albuquerque is a real city. Unlike Santa Fe, in Albuquerque it is hard to find New-Agers, affected would-be artists, Native American flute music, movie stars, howling coyotes, or rich Texans. The Rio Grande runs the length of the state and bisects Albuquerque. The city sits in the Rio Grande Valley and spreads up both sides. The Hyatt hotel, which is downtown, is 5,000 ft. above sea level, two miles east of the river. To the east the city rises toward the Sandia Mountains, which run generally north and south along the city’s eastern edge. Elevation at the base of the mountain is about 6,500 ft.; the peak is 10,500 ft. West of the river the “west mesa” slopes up from the valley bottom, culminating in the five volcanos that form the western skyline. Albuquerque can be divided roughly into Downtown, Old Town, Uptown, the North and South Valleys, the Northeast and Southeast Heights (shown as the “Eastside” on the attached map), and the West Side. Surrounding towns include Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, Los Lunas, Corrales, and Placitas. Route 66 ran through Albuquerque before I-40 was built.

He meets a cattle company traveling up the Goodnight-Loving Trail in New Mexico Territory; and not only do the cowboys give Silas a very real western adventure, they offer him a spiritual journey as well. Each chapter of this guide is divided into locations of the territory traversed in the book’s cattle drive which happens to loosely follow the famous Goodnight-Loving Trail. The guide offers history about the time period and definitions of words mentioned in the book. Each chapter has three sections: ● Historical definitions about cowboys and New Mexico Territory ● Zen/Buddhist concepts and definitions ● Trip information for those who want to make the trek themselves including what to see and where to stay along the way. The guide also contains maps, photos and questions to help guide you through the journey.
