Meet the Chef

Casa de las Chimeneas has a dedicated kitchen staff of three, augmented by two innkeepers and three servers. New this year are three month rotations of graduates from prestigious culinary schools. These externs bring a fresh approach and new ideas to the blend.



Jason Moffitt hails from Indio, California. A graduate from the California School of Culinary Arts, Le Cordon Bleu, Jason chose Casa de las Chimeneas for his externship experience because of the opportunity to do more than be a prep cook in a large hotel kitchen. His Chicken Caciatore is, in the staff's opinion, 'the best.' His cream puffs delight. His chocolate pots de crème send guests into orbit.


Georgia Sanders is our Executive Chef, planning and executing a menu that changes seasonally. Having owned a classic Continental restaurant in Telluride, Colorado, she finds the size of the inn a relaxing change of pace. One of her culinary secrets is enhancing the flavor of strawberries in her elegant tarts with a splash of balsamic vinegar. She also likes to add Jack cheese, blueberries and whole corn kernels to blue corn pancakes. The cheese is a 'neutral' flavor that helps hold the pancakes together -- Native blue corn has very little gluten. Served with sweet unsalted butter and maple syrup, full of flavor, texture and aroma, Georgia's Blue Corn Pancakes are regularly requested by returning guests.



Melissa Bell is a baker extraordinaire. From perfect peach pies to golden loaves of bread, delicate raspberry upside down muffins to linzer cookies, three layer banana cake to shelled-shaped Madelines, no one in New Mexico is a better baker than Melissa. She's also renown for Deep-dish Lasagna, Sopa de Albondigas (Mexican meatball soup) and other savories. Her secret lies in the care she takes that each pastry leaf, egg wash or layer of sauce is perfectly applied. Her food is as good as it looks, and it looks GOOD!
