core kitchen & wine bar

Biscotti is the perfect cookie for dunking in coffee, tea or wine. A staple of Italian kitchens for generations, join Certified Executive Chef and Slow Food Southern Arizona President Barry Infuso for a fun morning preparing this twice-baked treat.

You’ll start by sampling the finished almond biscotti, then see how the cookies look after the first bake and while in the oven for the final step, you’ll make and shape your dough to take home to bake now or freeze for later. There will be plenty to keep or share – the recipe makes 12 dozen! Chef Barry will also demonstrate decorating options.

Cost: $75. Purchase your ticket here.

Grab a delicious vegan meal and maybe make a new friend!

Feel free to arrive between 6:30 and 7:00 pm. It is a casual dinner and conversation meetup, open to everyone (bring your friends). Tables are reserved along the wall to the left.

The food is FANTASTIC! Lovin’ Spoonfuls is Tucson’s first all vegan restaurant, and vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores all rave about the food. If you have never tried it before, you are in for a treat! There are so many wonderful dishes on the menu that you could come to this event for years and never have the same dish twice!

Sometimes, if there is a large turn-out between the meetup and other patrons, there may not be enough seating in the restaurant. Because of that, we have to cap this event, so that also means RSVPs count. Don’t RSVP unless you are going, and if you later change your mind, change your RSVP to “no” so someone else can go. Abusing this by RVSPing “yes” and not showing can lead to a ban from other events in the future. Sorry to be strict, but it is necessary so everyone can benefit.

Finally, there may not always be a meetup host present for this event.
