TRAVELS WITH A SCHOLAR

PUEBLO FOOD, FEASTING AND HOME
CULTURAL TRADITIONS WITH NORMA & HUTCH NARANJO

JULY 17, 2025

Join Southwest Seminars Thursday, July 17 for a private culinary experience at Ohkay-Owingeh Pueblo (‘Place of the Strong People’) as we learn about culture, traditions and the sustainability of Pueblo life. We will be at the lovingly renovated home and in the spacious kitchen and outside horno of Norma and Hutch Naranjo. These traditional Pueblo farmers plant and raise their crops in Santa Clara Pueblo much as their Ancestors did without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The beef is grass-fed and almost all the ingredients for the meals are home-grown… chili, chico corn, and squash.  The preparation steps for the feast meal are taken throughout the year with intent and design…planting, nurturing, harvesting and storing before preparing.  We will learn how to prepare the horno (traditional outdoor adobe ovens) and experience outdoor baking and hands-on cooking. While participants chop and stir the empanadas bake in the horno. Norma talks about the history of Pueblo cuisine and explains how the Native diet changed after the Spanish arrived. This informative culinary class and demonstration of Pueblo feasting traditions in this historic Tewa village is followed by a shared, bountiful mid-day Feast Meal.

Includes: Cooking Class and Feast meal by Norma, Crops and Wood for the Horno by Hutch. $200 per person
