The Santa Fe Farmers Market has been recognized as one of the top local markets in the country and is a popular spot for locals and visitors during its Saturday and Tuesday market days. After polling local restaurants, an additional market day was selected to better serve busy Santa Fe chefs wanting to support the Santa Fe Alliance’s growing Farm to Restaurant initiative.

The Cook with the Chef series is a showcase of area chefs featuring their signature dishes yet reflecting the season and ingredients that are available locally. Santa Fe’s best known chefs take part, talking about their recipes, their choice of local food sources, preparing a dish, and answering questions.
