Online Lecture: New Mexico’s Culinary Traditions — A Blend of Culture & Flavor

New Mexico’s cuisine reflects centuries of cultural exchange, shaped by Indigenous traditions and more than 300 years of Spanish and Mexican influence. From the official state cookie, the bizcochito, to the ever-present question—“Red or green?”—food is deeply woven into New Mexico’s identity. Join Christopher Gibson to explore the Native and Hispanic contributions that define the state’s culinary heritage and discover how history, geography and tradition have created a cuisine unlike any other in the United States.
