In the spring of 2010, we had the audacity to think a local publication about the region’s food and beverage would be a good and worthy endeavor. As we completed a decade of celebrating the stories of many local farmers, chefs, artisans and food thought leaders, we decided to have a celebration of our own.

Our newest member, Babs Freibert, provided her spectacular family cabin and all went to work baking, cooking, mixing and grilling. We asked each staff member to prepare a favorite holiday item and then to write down that recipe with an introductory thought. We are now happy to share that with you on the following pages.

We also pause to give gratitude to you, our readers, and to the many advertisers who have supported this free publication over the years with their precious marketing dollars. Happy Holidays from our Edible magazine family to yours over these winter months.
