What Primavera Cooked

Primavera Cooks invited me to the Monday, June 11, event at Feast. Going alone, I was a little apprehensive as to whether or not I would find someone to talk to. That wasn't an issue; there were tables for 10, and I plopped down among Kent, Sue, Bruce, Pam, Pat and Kay. During the evening, Kent, Bruce and I discovered that we used to live within five miles of each other during the same time frame in Los Angeles. Of course, the food and wine pairing rocked, as did the community spirit. Doug Levy opened on his day off, and three employees (Ken Steen, Molly Phoenix and Alyson Althoff) volunteered their services.

Primavera Cooks is a partnership between Primavera Foundation and Tucson Originals. Diners pay $125 per person (tax and gratuity included); 70 percent is tax deductible. Acacia at St. Philip's is up next on June 27, followed by Cuvée World Bistro on July 11, and Elle on July 25.
