I’m proud of this food. Proud of where it comes from, proud of the people behind it, and proud of the work we’re doing every day.

We’re cooking our food, our way, here in the Texas Hill Country.

I just think it’s time more people started paying attention. #jamesbeard #texasfood #hillcountryfood #tejanofood #cheftatuherrera taken in The Desert Spoon by @cheftatuherrera

Every jar tells a story of the bees, the plants they visit, and the environment they work in. Getting to see that process up close gives us a greater appreciation for an ingredient we often take for granted. #texashillcountry #cheftatuherrera #texashoneysommelier #springbranchtx @beardfoundation @texasmonthly taken in San Antonio, Texas by @cheftatuherrera

Texas Honey Tasting 🍷 with owner and @cheftatuherrera of Dessert Spoon! Memorable moment’s of connecting, experiencing and filling our senses with those that are as passionate for our Texas Terroir! A honey guided tasting of their own Texas Hill Country Honey from their hives at the property and beyond. An amazing flavorful capture of a season in a moment in time! A record, snapshot of their land, garden, Texas Narive plants and the magnificent work of the female honeybee!! The Nursery, The Garden that @cheftatuherrera forages for his craft, the view, the chickens and Dessert Spoon is a must visit! Tomas and I walked the property and so enjoyed its Serene ambience and filled our senses! Thank you both! #texashillcountry #unesco #chef #texashoney #honeyexperts taken in Spring Branch, Texas by @cheftatuherrera
