AZ Arts Live presents ‘In the Kitchen’ with chef Janos Wilder

Local legend and admired chef, Janos Wilder, is teaming up with AZ Arts Live for the next “In the Kitchen” culinary video session.

During the event, you’ve got a front-row seat as Wilder takes you through the preparation of his “Ready for Renaissance” four-course dinner. One of the best parts is that you get to eat the meal, too.

The multi-course meal features scrumptious bites, like the Tucson Spring Garden Chile Relleno Salad and Pan-Seared Cabrilla Mojo de Ajo, and will be available for take-out with orders beginning on Monday, April 26.

On Thursday, April 29, you’ll then be able to pick up the meal at The Carriage House, which is located downtown at 125 S. Arizona Ave., between 4 – 5:30 p.m. It’s all meant to take home so you can enjoy watching the magic behind the meal on your screen of choice.

For his special menu, the James Beard Award-winning chef will be highlighting the “rich diversity of Southern Arizona,” all while using some classic, local ingredients like chiles, cholla buds, and native beans.

Tickets start at $70 per person, which includes the meal and video demonstration.
