Taos Horno Adventures: A Multicultural Culinary Memoir Informed by History and Horticulture

From the view of a retired physician and educator spouse, we share many life stories from over fifty years’ experience with the diverse cultures of Taos, living the shared cultures rather than just observing. The organizing theme is our new horno beehive oven that has enabled us to engage in extensive historic scholarship and horticultural practices. Multiple sources and dozens of participants yielded experience of 90 culinary adventures that combine home grown produce, community sourced ingredients, and horno influence. The book and all proceeds are dedicated to the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos. It is a work of craft, community, and philanthropy.
