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.
I’ve been honored to be invited to appear as a guest on some of my favorite news stations, journalist websites and podcast episodes to talk about my books- Arizona Wine and Phoenix Cooks - and our exciting culinary and beverage scene. Scroll through to listen in!
Recording an episode of Emmy-award winning Plate & Pour with Mark Tarbell
In December I joined Taste of Arizona as we sat down with Jim Cunningham, general manager of Merkin Vineyards Scottsdale to talk about Arizona wine.
Who wouldn't want to write about food, beverage and travel for a living? In this episode of Conversations with Catherine, I chat with Christina Barrueta, an award-winning food writer and author of the new book Phoenix Cooks.
When an author was needed for a cookbook highlighting the best chefs in Phoenix, Christina Barrueta was a shoe-in. Known around the state of Arizona for her award-winning blog “Write On Rubee” Christina has been highlighting the food & beverage industry here since 2008. She is not a food critic but rather a lover of the amazing inspiration going on in Arizona food & beverage right now. In her writing, Christina highlights all the great things happening here. Enjoy this episode with Christina Barrueta!
Thank you Sonoran Living for having me on to talk about Arizona wine.
