While the Tucson Festival of Books is a wonderful place for avid readers, it also provides a rare opportunity to meet – and see in action – famous chefs and culinary authors from around the country.

This year, the festival will feature seven culinary authors on March 11 and 12 at the University of Arizona Mall.

The authors will present in the festival’s culinary tent, a 300-person tent which includes a demonstration kitchen.

Authors include Julia Tursen and John Ash of Small Victories: Recipes, Advice + Hundreds of Ideas for Home Cooking Triumphs, Naomi Pomeroy of Building Blocks of a Restaurant Chef, and Victor Hazan of Ingredienti: Marcella’s Guide to the Market. 

John Ash and Naomi Pomeroy are both winners of the James Beard Award.

Ryan Clark, Executive Chef at Casino Del Sol, worked with culinary tent co-chairs Jennifer Slothower and Mary Barker to pair the local talents with visiting cookbook authors.

At 4 p.m. on March 11, Tucson Foodie’s own Adam Lehrman is moderating a talk with Pomeroy, who happens to have one of the prettiest food Instagram accounts.

Festival admission and parking are free.

An overnight escape just 45 minutes from Tucson 🌞

Spend the evening at @tubacgolfresortandspa, enjoy dinner, wake up to breakfast, and be back in Tucson by late morning, or extend your stay and make a weekend of it. The Tucson Foodie team had such a great time during our stay. Dinner and breakfast at Stables Ranch Grille were impressive and vegan-friendly, and the entire staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Thank you for showing us around, @civilwines!

Established as a Spanish presidio in 1752, Tubac was one of the earliest European settlements in what is now Arizona and served as an important military outpost during Spanish colonization. And now, you can experience it for yourself.

@Seiscantina has permanently closed its Joesler Village location at 1765 E. River Rd., the Muñoz family announced today.

Three Seis Kitchen locations remain open at Tanque Verde Road, Oro Valley, and Mercado San Agustín. The family says guests can still find their favorite dishes and familiar faces at the remaining locations. 

“It is with heavy hearts that we share some bittersweet news. After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our Joesler Village newly rebranded Cantina Location. Saying goodbye to the regular guests who became faces we looked forward to seeing every week, we are truly sorry that we cannot continue serving you here. You turned a simple dining room into a vibrant community gathering place, and for that, we will be forever grateful.”
