Tucson Foodie Cookbook Club: ‘Wine Food’ at REVEL (March 26)

Mar 19, 20251 min read

Attention Bookworms: We’re ready for the Tucson Foodie Cookbook Club.

We’ve been planning these meet-ups for the past couple of months on the 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, March 26 at REVEL, 416 E. Ninth St., featuring “Wine Food” by Dana Frank and Andrea Slonecker.

Tickets are $15 each and include admission and a glass of wine.

This month’s meet-up is in the style of a potluck — bring your favorite dish inspired by a recipe in the book (you’ll be served a glass of wine that pairs with it).

Antigone Books at 411 N. Fourth Ave.
Stacks Book Club at 1880 E. Tangerine Rd. #140

More about Matt

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.
