THE CHEFS OF SANTA FE COOK IN THE RAW - AND POSE IN IT, TOO - IN REVELATORY NEW CALENDAR FOR 2005

TAOS, NEW MEXICO (August 2004) - After a smashing debut in Taos last year, the fabulously popular Cooking in the Raw calendar featuring area chefs at their best -- and barest -- is back this year and taking Santa Fe, New Mexico by storm. The Chefs of Santa Fe - Cooking in the Raw is an artistic calendar with a style as vivacious, provocative and alluring as the soul of the southwest itself.

Thirteen of Santa Fe most desirable culinary artisans -- including Louis Moscow (Bistro 315), Martin Rios (The Old House), Mu Ju Ling (Mud u Noodles) and Tom Kerpon (The Inn of Anasazi) -- bare their most tempting recipes as well as their intimate selves in a stimulating full-size calendar of stunning black & white photographs created by acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Judy Walgren.

The Chefs of Santa Fe - Cooking in the Raw is produced by the Taos School of Cooking. "The design of the Calendar is classy and appealing, with exuberant photographs that are as tasteful and innovative as the food itself," says the School's Director, Lisa Cancro. "You can definitely spot the inspiration of each chef's unique personality."

The creation of this calendar is intended to promote Santa Fe's exceptional chefs and their restaurants. Two pages of the calendar will be devoted to each chef, including a charismatic photograph, chef's choice recipe, restaurant logo and, of course, the month. An excellent assortment of Santa Fe's finest and most hip restaurants are featured, including The Pink Adobe, Ristra, Bistro 315, Fuego at La Posada, Eat Me Foods, La Posada, Mu du Noodles, and more.

A Calendar release for The Chefs of Santa Fe - Cooking in the Raw will take place on Sunday September 19th @ The Pink Adobe in Santa Fe from 2:00-5:00 pm. Featured chefs will be present and likely clothed for a fantastically fun, not-to-be-missed signing party. Calendars will be priced at a reasonable $19.95. All profits from the sale of the calendar will be donated to The Yaxche Learning Center Scholarship Program in Taos, New Mexico, the non-profit educational organization that benefits needy children from diverse indigenous backgrounds.
