In The Chile Line: Historic Northern New Mexican Recipes (Pajarito Press LLC), Martinez shares her grandmother’s recipes, passed down for generations, that sustain northern New Mexicans and their way of life, through the kitchen. She was raised on a small farm in the Espanola Valley, descended from Spanish sheepherders who settled there in the 1500s. Martinez shares remembrances of life in the family kitchen on that farm through 85 enchanting recipes.
An heiress of cooking via her grandmother’s traditional kitchen and a student of restaurant techniques, Martinez shares her taste through her popular column, Liddies Traditional New Mexico Dishes, published in the Los Alamos Daily Post. She keeps the line of history going with travels extensively in Spain and Mexico, preserving El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail; while her farm on the Chile Line easement of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Narrow Gauge Train, Santa Fe branch, stewards northern New Mexico history through this food.
Discover through her new cookbook how to make this beloved, traditional northern New Mexico fare.
