We love our regional New Mexico cuisine or we wouldn't have spent the last thirty years sharing the good news about it! But we also love to branch out and share the goodness of arts, cuisine, and culture in other parts of the world.

In a special celebration of the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market, we have joined forces with IFAM to support the Market by dedicating 20% of the net proceeds from a
special South Indian cooking class
to this amazing annual arts event. Many artists who show their work earn their entire yearly income from the Market
and help support their rural villages, keeping their artistic traditions alive and well.
