Cooking Inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe. Meet Margaret Wood, her former personal assistant - DEMONSTRATION CLASS

Demonstration Class

Duration

3 Hours

About

Step into the world of Georgia O’Keeffe through the lens of her kitchen.

In this extraordinary collaboration between The Santa Fe School of Cooking and the O’Keeffe Museum, you’re invited to experience the flavors, philosophies, and personal stories behind one of America’s most iconic artists. This is far more than a cooking class — it’s a living portrait of O’Keeffe, told through food.

Guided by one of our chefs, you’ll explore recipes from A Painter’s Kitchen: Recipes from the Kitchen of Georgia O’Keeffe by Margaret Wood. Long before “seasonal” and “farm-to-table” became culinary buzzwords, O’Keeffe embraced simple, pure ingredients — thoughtfully grown, carefully prepared, and deeply connected to place. Her approach to food mirrored her art: intentional, minimal, and profoundly expressive.

What makes this class truly exceptional is the presence of Margaret Wood herself — O’Keeffe’s longtime personal assistant and the author of A Painter’s Kitchen. Margaret will share firsthand stories, insights, and reflections on O’Keeffe’s daily life, her philosophy around food, and the creative spirit that shaped both her art and her table. It’s a rare opportunity to hear personal memories that bring history vividly to life.

Over the course of this three-hour demonstration-style class, recipes and storytelling intertwine to create a rich, textured experience of Georgia O’Keeffe — the artist, the host, the visionary, and the woman behind the canvas. The class includes printed recipes and a full meal inspired by her kitchen.

As an added gift, the O’Keeffe Museum has generously included complimentary museum admission with your class. You’re welcome to visit during your time in Santa Fe, or save your ticket — it remains valid for one full year from the date of your class.

Come taste the landscape that inspired a legend — and discover Georgia O’Keeffe in a way few ever do.
