Always a pleasure to serve good wholesome food and support a good cause. Kuudaawoehaa SWAIA - Santa Fe Indian Market for the continued support!
Wild plums. Braised buffalo short ribs. Roasted acorn squash. Cactus crème brûlée. We are still dreaming about the food! 🌵🍽️✨
Chef Ray Naranjo (Santa Clara Pueblo) brought something truly unforgettable to the table at A Taste of Native Fashion — and our community is still talking about every single course.
Roasted wild plums that excited our tastebuds. Braised buffalo short ribs slow-braised to perfection. Acorn squash with the warmth of the Southwest in every bite. And a cactus crème brûlée that closed the evening on a note as unexpected and beautiful as the runway itself.
This is Indigenous foodways honored, elevated, and shared in community. Chef Ray is a leading force in the revitalization of Native cuisine — blending ancestral knowledge rooted in the Ancient Puebloans of the Southwest and the Three Fire Tribes of the Great Lakes with bold, contemporary culinary innovation. Every dish he creates carries a rich cultural lineage and a deep connection to the land and people behind it.
Thank you, , for a meal that didn't just feed us — it moved us. You elevated our entire evening and we are so grateful. 🙏✨
