New Mexico winters are magical, inspiring, and rich in tradition. This time of year, the smell of roasting green chile fills the air and we crave warmth and comfort as the weather changes and snow rolls in. Our cuisine reflects this feeling with the culturally infused cooking preparations, spice and food cooked with local love as we gather with friends and family to celebrate community and custom. The spicy, warm and cultural recipes featured in these 3 culinary events are New Mexico staples that people travel far and wide to experience.

This is a must culinary journey for anyone interested in the history of the region.”
