Explorations of a Life
Yesterday I suggested that anyone visiting Santa Fe make sure and plan on attending the Santa Fe School of Cooking. Well, it was so wonderful that I went back today for another class. Here is a summary of today’s fun.
Warm, spicy tastes and enticing aromas evoke Santa Fe’s rich cultural traditions. Three classes on the traditional foods of New Mexico are at the heart of the Santa Fe School of Cooking. These classes allow you to experience this delicious cuisine, including local cooking techniques and the lore of the region. This class includes corn tortillas, cheese enchilladas with red chile sauce, chicken enchilladas with green chile sauce, pinto beans, posole, and capirotada (bread pudding).
Todays class was taught by Chef Danny who brought an entirely new experience to the class. As Rocky did yesterday, Danny used the menu as a starting point and showed us how we could change things up to adapt the recipes as we desired. All in all, a great two days.
I’ll have more on the overall Santa Fe experience coming up, but one thing I have to draw note to. The people I have met here are quite possibly the most friendly people as a group of any I have run into in any of my travels. It makes getting up a joy every day.
