Holiday Gift Guide SPECIAL ISSUE • WINTER 2017

Happy Holidays!

New Mexico’s holiday season is well underway. We’re excited for the various things that make New Mexican holidays so special: Mariachi and Folklorico, biscochitos, and our own version of red and green. We here at edible wanted to wish all of our readers’ happy holidays. We’re hoping that the end of your year is wonderful and that next year is even better.

Holidays also mean we have to start scrambling for gift ideas for friends and family. We here at edible wanted to make your life a little easier by hand-selecting some of our favorite local items in our 2nd Annual Holiday Gift Guide. We’ve combed through New Mexico for some of the perfect gifts to give to the special people in your life.

Not only are gifts an essential part of the holidays, but so is cooking. Need help planning the perfect dessert or cocktail for your big holiday bash (or night in)? We’ve got the perfect solution with our Cranberry Almond Skillet Cake and our Blood Orange Punch.

The recipes in this gift guide are ones you won’t find in our print edition.

(IPMI), across the street from Shumakolowa Native Arts. The artists include Erik Fender of San Ildefonso Pueblo, who began learning pottery at the age of ten with his mother, Martha Appleleaf, and his grandmother, legendary potter Carmelita Dunlap. The stark matte black and angular geometry of Fender’s design is complemented by the vivid orange and biomorphic curves of the mug designed by Patricia Lowden, who hails from the Acoma Sun Clan. Natural and abstract imagery also features in earth tones on the remaining three mugs by Frederica Antonio (Acoma Pueblo), Elizabeth Medina (Jemez Pueblo), and Robin Teller (Isleta Pueblo). $25.00 (each)
