Tucson Festival of Books is hosting an exclusive “Authors In Conversation” event with local author Jackie Alpers and chef Maria Mazon of Boca Tacos y Tequila at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, August 5.
Jackie Alper’s new cookbook, Taste of Tucson: Sonoran-Style Recipes Inspired by the Rich Culture of Southern Arizona, features a collection of enticing and delectable recipes, including familiar dishes from chef Marian Mazon.
Now, you’ll get to see one of the recipes pop off of the pages and onto a plate.
The two of them will share a cooking demo on one of the Mazon’s recipes found in Taste of Tucson, and then will end the culinary session with an open discussion.
The event will be streaming live on Crowdcast — keeping your comfortable inside your home or anywhere else you’d like to watch. Also, the event is free for anyone who saves their spot by registering ahead of time.
Don’t forget, there’s a discussion after the cooking demonstration so have some questions ready to deliver to both Alpers and Mazon.

More about MattAt 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.
