If you want to eat like the locals, you have to learn to cook like the locals. So we all joined Chef Chris Maher and his wife Valerie at The Cooking Studio – Taos. It was located at their home on the scenic road heading to the famous Taos Ski Basin. Our menu was prepared by all of us over a period of about 3 hours and then enjoyed as a true feast with all of the appropriate wines.
So here it is: Green Chile Stew, Red Chile Dusted Alaskan Salmon, Chicken Adovada, Rice and Noodles, Calabacitas, Grilled Lettuce Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette, and finishing up with Biscochitos.
Needless to say, it was all delicious, although sometimes a bit hot for the taste of some of us. We enjoyed our meal as the sun set in the west and a full harvest moon arose over the mountains to the east.
