Get eating on the Insiders Culinary Tour in Santa Fe
Santa Fe has made a big name for itself in the global restaurant scene. For centuries before Santa Fe was even considered a city, there was an interesting and unique food culture cultivated by the Native American peoples. The trinity of cultures, Native American, Spanish and Anglo that assembled here give our city the foundation for her exquisite food offerings. Our local chefs embrace the traditions of the ancients and draw off their individual backgrounds to produce one of the most diverse and exciting ‘food scenes’ in North America.
Where does an out-of-towner, a new transplant or an interested native begin to investigate this eclectic mix of old and new, traditional and contemporary? Right here at The Santa Fe School of Cooking, of course. Let us educate and entertain you with our most anticipated new activity of 2007: The Insiders’ Culinary Adventure! We start at the school in downtown Santa Fe for a taste of the traditional New Mexican chile then we’re off on an intimate walking tour of restaurants and a museum that illustrate the diversity of our capitol’s offerings. The tour will be led by one of our fabulous chef/instructors from the schools educated staff.
On tour, meet the owner of Los Mayas, a traditional Mexican restaurant and discuss the differences between Mexican and New Mexican while sampling the unique and scrumptious food. We’ll head to Amavi, the just opened and much anticipated restaurant of local celebrity chef David Sellers, famous for his many years heading up the kitchen at SantaCafe. Dave will dazzle our palates with his finely tuned cooking style that has earned him a great reputation.
Lois Ellen Frank, a James Beard award winning author, will be waiting for us in the courtyard of the Institute of the American Indian Arts where we will taste some Native food and learn the Native influence on food and culture-not to mention a peek at some great art. (A pass is included with the tour so you can return the next day for a more in depth viewing.) Finally, raise a glass of Spanish sherry with chef/owner James Campbell Caruso of Santa Fe’s new tapas hot spot, La Boca, the big winner at this years Taste of Santa Fe, taking home the Best In Show!
We look forward to introducing you to some of Santa Fe’s top chefs and welcoming you into our diverse culinary scene. Join us at The Santa Fe School of Cooking this summer for the only afternoon event of its kind!
The Insiders’ Culinary Adventure is being offered July 9, 16, 26, 30, Aug 13, 20 and 27. The tour begins at 1:00 and will run about three hours. Group tours can be arranged by calling 505-983-4511, for more info check our website at www.santafeschoolofcooking.com
