Tucson Foodie Cookbook Club: 'Dining In' at Slow Body Beer

Tucson Foodie Cookbook Club: ‘Dining In’ at Slow Body Beer

February 13, 2025

By Matt Sterner

Our first Tucson Foodie Cookbook Club was a hit and now we’re ready for the next.

We’re planning these meet-ups every last Wednesday of the month — we gather at a different local brewery or bar (wherever we’re allowed to bring in outside food) to share dishes inspired by a featured cookbook (cookbooks not included).

The next Cookbook Club is from 6 – 8 p.m. on Wednesday, February 26 at Slow Body Beer, 831 E. 17th St., featuring “Dining In” by Alison Roman. Throughout the event, you’ll eat some grub, meet new people, and explore different recipes.

Tickets are $15 each and include admission and your first drink at Slow Body Beer. This month’s meet-up is in the style of a potluck — bring your favorite dish inspired by a recipe in the book.

Also, don’t forget to register the dish you’re preparing when purchasing your ticket.

Matt Sterner

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
