Letitia’s Kitchen — Cooking the Soul of Our Story

​

A Legacy Passed Down Through Generations

In Santa Fe, food is more than a meal — it’s a memory. Every pot of chile, every handmade tortilla, every pan of biscochitos carries a story. My recipes come from generations of women who cooked with their hearts and taught with their hands — my grandmothers, my mother, and now me.

Cooking has always been our language of love. I learned at their side, watching, listening, and feeling the rhythm of tradition. Today, I share those same lessons with my children and grandchildren so that our story — our Santa Fe story — continues for generations to come.

​

A Tradition That Lives On

In my kitchen, every recipe tells a part of who we are. The smell of roasted chile drifting through the air reminds us of family gatherings; the taste of fresh posole brings us back to holidays and laughter around the table. These dishes are not just food — they’re history, resilience, and soul.

Our culture lives on every time we cook, every time we share a meal, every time we pass down a recipe. Because when we keep cooking, we keep our heritage alive.

Learn, Cook, and Carry It Forward

Each section of this collection will guide you through how to make each dish just like my family taught me — with patience, love, and a little Santa Fe spice. You’ll learn:

• The history and meaning behind each recipe

• Step-by-step guidance on how to prepare it perfectly

• The special touches that make it ours

From roasting chile to stirring posole to shaping biscochitos by hand, you’ll not only discover how to make each dish — you’ll feel the spirit behind it.
