The Greater Palm Springs Food and Wine Festival brought out some of the Coachella Valley’s best local restaurants and established favorites over the Feb. 16-17 weekend at the Renaissance Indian Wells Resort. From Indio’s Big Rock Golf & Pub ghost pepper tequila and cauliflower ceviche to the Mediterranean flavors of Daniel’s Table in Cathedral City, it was a diverse taste of the valley to help kick off Modernism Week.

The San Jacinto Mountains towering over Palm Springs are all snow-capped this week and the Coachella Valley is sunny and crisp, the perfect conditions to pose next to one of your favorite Desert X installations dotting the desert or take in a Modernism Week tour (that mid-mod gathering runs through Feb. 24).

Kicking off the week was the Greater Palm Springs Food and Wine Festival, together with the Desert Woman’s Show at the Renaissance Indian Wells Resort, featuring fare from local restaurants.

Koutouki Greek Estiatorio cooked up shrimp with ouzo and Indio favorite Big Rock Golf & Pub provided the music, vegan cauliflower ceviche and house ghost pepper and aged tequilas. The Woman’s Show included chef demos and food lectures, with It’s a No Grainer cookbook author Barbara Rogers sharing her recipe for green chili and egg casserole.
