Did the cultural tour - started with enchiladas at the school and moved on to Los Mayas, La Boca, Native American Museum and Coyote Cafe. Our guide Rocky was excellent - funny and knowledgeable and went out of his way to be sure we were having a good time. It is obvious that he knows and likes the various chefs... more

I attended the restaurant walk through the cooking school. We tried some food inside the cooking school and then visited four other restaurants in the area. The tour is expensive yet the school is very generous in providing alcohol and large servings. No one is going to go home hungry on this tour. You do get what you pay for.... more

We just got back from Santa Fe. While there, we went to a cooking demonstration/wine tasting at the Estrella del Norte Vineyard. This was definitely the highlight of our trip. The owners of the Vineyard were very friendly, helpful and professional. The cooking demonstration by "Rocky" was educational and fun. The food turned out delicious too. This demonstration was supposed... more

My wife and I attemded the fine dining tour this afternoon. There were 16 people in our group and we were able to sample fare from 4 of the best restaurants in Santa Fe, as well as a dish from our host. While the event may seem a bit pricey my wife and I thought it was worth the cost.... more

My daughter and I attended the Chile Armor class with Rocky Durham. Rocky was terrific -- providing a little history, food anthropology and a great knowledge of the subject. A great way to spend an afternoon. Rocky also provided a long list of restaurant suggestions, and the one we picked (mauka) was fantastic. I'll definitely do another class on future... more

We walked to 4 different restaurants and had wonderful food at each and... more

Took the Restaurant Walking Tour - Fine Dining today and it was well worth the time (about 3 hours) and money. Start at the cooking school with an appetizers then wander around Santa Fe to four different top restaurants for a back scene tour, meet with key people and enjoy a culinary treat at each stop paired with a matched... more

We had 24 people in our class, the most that would fit in the small classroom. The chef, who has been with them 13 years, did not seem to like the recipes he had to use and modified them. This is just a demonstration, no hands on cooking. I love to cook, and I did learn a couple of new... more

This is our second time taking a class at the Santa Fe School of Cooking. Two years ago, we took their "chile amor" class. This was a hands-on class led by Rocky Durham. We thoroughly enjoyed Rocky's class. The class we attended last week was led by Daniel Hoyer. We hadn't heard of him before, but he has impressive credentials... more
