Celebrating Ten Delicious Years of Edible San Diego

What a difference 10 years makes. What were you doing in 2008? Back then, media about food was in a very different place. Can you believe that Instagram did not yet exist? Edible San Diego emerged to engage people in the farm-to-table movement through its magazine. Many, many passionate people—the first owners Mary and Jeff Willis, then second owners Riley Davenport and John Vawter, and countless writers, photographers, editors, and others—have worked hard to create a printed publication like no other in our region.

To this mix, the current Edible San Diego team is stepping up in new ways to enrich your life by offering information and experiences and connections with good food and good living that make sense for you.

The theme of our November/December Issue 50 special edition is Gathering Traditions, because in the global microcosm that is San Diego County, there are too many holiday traditions to count, and we want to set a figurative celebratory dinner table to honor them all.

Digging into 10 years of print and digital archives, we sought easy, delicious, and internationally inspired recipes featuring wholesome foods—local and seasonal where possible—with options for multiple dietary practices, to offer something for everyone.

It’s a pleasure to invite you to dive into this collection of recipes, both in the print magazine, and anytime here on EdibleSanDiego.com. They combine beloved traditions with handy tips and some new ideas to spice things up. We know you're busy, but Edible San Diego is here 24/7 to offer a place for you to slow down just a little and savor some simple pleasures.
