Often credited with starting the Tex-Mex mania, Jane Butel has published 16 cookbooks to date and also operates her own cooking school in the La Posada de Albuquerque. Bringing years of experience to her new television series, Butel pulls together the traditional Southwestern combination of Spanish, Mexican, Anglo and Native American with flair and ease.

Butel features traditional family recipes for everything from quesadillas and salsas to chiles and tamales as well as innovative recipes such as duck fajitas with orange-raspberry salsa and margarita pie. Throughout the series, viewers are treated to Butel’s engaging anecdotes and helpful hints.
