I googled cooking classes in Santa Fe before our trip and found the Santa Fe School of Cooking - was SO glad that I did. My husband took the Tamale I class and I took the Restaurant II tour. Both were excellent; these folks know what they're doing! The restaurant tour was pretty close to perfect, just the right amount... More

We learned about Santa Fe School of cooking through a friend whose mother had taken a class there. My mom and I have also taken a cooking class in New Orleans and loved it so we thought this would be a great way to celebrate Mom’s 60th birthday and visiting her 50th state as well as my graduation from grad...

My wife is a good cook and I am a good eater. However we both attended the Traditional I course at the Santa Fe School of Cooking. I was very interested, as was she. As an expert, she enjoyed it at an entirely different level than I, but I got a lot out of it too. Noe showed a very... More

Our foursome of two couples attended classes this week at the School. What a fun learning experience. The first was a "hands on" tamale class taught by Patrick and Noe. I learned so much!! Much to learn about chilies! The next day we learned a complete pork tenderloin meal, which was probably the tastiest meal I have eaten in months!!... More

I love to cook; I love to eat and I love to learn. Taking a cooking class while away from home is the perfect combo. Tracy Ritter and her team taught us so much and made it so much fun. Then we were served an incredible meal that we could go home and duplicate. We have vowed to take a... More

Honestly, we all thought this was worth every penny! Went as an outing for our girl's weekend and there were 10 of us on the tour. We tried amazing bites of food all over the downtown areas along with lovely New Mexico wines (who knew?). We learned a lot and enjoyed hearing what all the different chefs had to say.... More

Went to the brunch today. As an aficionado of New Mexico cuisine I found the info about chile's and cooking techniques interesting and very helpful. If you like New Mexican cuisine this is a must-do. Awesome demonstration kitchen. Only complaint the food could have been spicer, but I am sure they tone it down a bit for the average tourist... More

This was by chance a delightful experience to not only experience cooking but then tasting the meal. It was truly New Mexican food and gives you some new ideas for your cooking and dining experience when you get home.

I spend a lot of time visting Santa Fe and have a certain amount of knowledge of cooking Southwestern food. I have taken cooking classes in Europe, the Middle East and in the US. Here I took the Tamale class, I have made tamales several times before using a recipie from a cookbook but not always having the best results.... More

Recently, I had the culinary pleasure of attending a demonstration class of Traditional New Mexican I at the Santa Fe School of Cooking. In Santa Fe for the first time, it was one of the things to do in Santa Fe according to my TripAdvisor research. OMG. I have never tasted deliciousness the way I did that afternoon. Chef Doctor...
