An Arizona-based food, beverage and travel writer since 2008, I launched this website in 2015 to document my culinary adventures, beverage escapades, gardening endeavors, and travel in the Phoenix area and beyond. Also find a comprehensive calendar of Phoenix-area food and drink-related events on my Events page.
On December 13, Kembara at JW Marriott Desert Ridge will feature the second in their collaboration series celebrating the importance of mentorship in the culinary world. Join host Chef Angelo Sosa and guest chef Deuki Hong of The Sunday Family Hospitality Group in San Francisco, author of the new ‘‘Koreaworld: A Cookbook,’’ for a family-style dinner inspired by Hong’s Korean-American heritage. The evening kicks off with a welcome cocktail, passed bites, and a discussion panel moderated by Arizona Culinary Hall of Fame food writer and author Christina Barrueta. Signed copies of Koreaworld will be available for purchase. Tickets are $129 per person and can be booked HERE.
