Featured Chefs

Community, Food, and Artistry Intertwined

Immerse yourself in millennia of Native cooking traditions, and indulge your tastebuds with a full-course meal from the best Native chefs in the country.

Chef Andrea Condes (Murdoch)

ANDEAN CHEF

Chef Andrea Murdoch is an Andean Native born in Caracas Venezuela. Murdoch is using food to trace her own culture while educating the public about the expansive world of Indigenous food systems. After being classically trained as a pastry chef at The Culinary Institute of America, Murdoch started exploring Indigenous flavors and origins independently for her business Four Directions Cuisine, LLC which launched in Denver, CO., in November 2017.

The four main pillars of her business are sourcing locally, sourcing Indigenously, education and community work. In Murdoch’s interpretation of Indigenous cuisine, she starts cultural conversations and serves up her firsthand experiences in the form of food.

Four Directions Cuisine is available for professional and Indigenous education events including keynote speeches, lectures, and demonstrations. Other available services include private catering, wholesale and retail sales.

Proudly Supporting Students of IAIA

We are thrilled to get to host some extremely talented emerging artists from the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), one of the TCU’s we are honored to support.

These artists believe deeply in carrying forward the beautiful traditions of American Indian artwork, infused with modern techniques and their own unique perspectives.

These artists are up and coming and on the rise quickly, and we are fortunate enough to bring them together to share their voice with all of you. All proceeds from their art go directly back to the artist to help them share their work with as many people as possible.

Join the artists for a special showing, where you can ask questions, hear their stories, and even take a piece of the culture home with you.
