Dear Members of the Edible Phoenix Community,
We

Edible Phoenix. With articles on
delicious weeds, wine in a brown paper bag,
spicing up your life, Four Peaks Brewery
and more, it's another information-packed
issue. If you haven't picked up a copy yet,

Edible
Phoenix is hosting the Authors' Pavilion

IACP (International Association of Culinary
Professionals). Barbara Fenzl will talk

of our favorite local product supporters)

Sunday,
April 1 is the date for another very special
event. Edible Phoenix has joined
with Slow Food Phoenix and other Valley
farmers and farmers' markets for the 2nd
Annual Slow Food is Local: Eating from our
Farmers' Markets farm tour and dinner. This
year the tour will visit historic Sahuaro
Ranch in Glendale and three nearby West
Valley Farms: Crooked Sky, McClendon's Select
and Tolmachoff. Chefs from caféBistro, Mosaic,
Taggia, and Leave it to Elizabeth will cook
up farm-fresh tastes at each location. A
Churro lamb and pig roast at Sahuaro Ranch,

off the event. Advance tickets are required.
