“New” Takes on Southern Spice
Two of the hottest destinations in the country have exciting fiery cuisines to match. Nestled at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, New Mexico’s capital city of Santa Fe embodies the spirit of the Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American settlers who built it – and its chefs incorporate the region’s traditional ingredients – rice, beans, squash and chiles – into mouthwatering dishes that exude the flavor of life here. Learn their secrets during a cooking class.
New Orleans takes its culinary cue from a melting pot of cultures, Italian, French and Creole natives among them, so it’s no surprise that some of their most popular dishes – like gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish etouffee and massive muffulettas – reflect an intermingling of ingredients and local spice. Follow up the mélange of hot sauces used freely in Nawlins’ kitchens with sugared beignets or Bananas Foster and your taste of the Big Easy will be very sweet indeed!
