News from Edible Phoenix
December 2005

Dear Charter Members of the Edible Phoenix Community,

Best wishes for a delicious, nutritious, and local foods-filled New Year!

If you haven't checked out the Edible Phoenix website recently, give it another look. We're offering a special pre-publication subscription rate of $20 per year for new subscribers (an $8 discount over the standard rates). Just click on "Get a Copy".

We've also started our Food Calendar so you can plan your social schedule around the many food events occurring during the Valley's busy winter season. I'm especially looking forward to the Slow Food Phoenix Goat Cheese Tasting and Cooking event on January 12, and to being totally exhausted by all of the activities lined up for March 2006.

The contributors to our February inaugural issue are a well-read (and well-fed) group of food writers. From Kevin Dahl, the director of Native Seeds/SEARCH, to author Gwen Ashley Walters, to Urban Farm founder Greg Peterson, we've lined up a strong array of local talent. When we add in the columns of our nutrition and wine/food experts (Sharon Salomon and Debbie Elder respectively), we have an over-flowing buffet of articles for our first issue. You can read more on our contributors in the "About Us" section of the website.

In my last newsletter, I promised you a sneak peek at our first issue. In the "Articles" section of the website, you will find Kathy Couturié's write-up on her visit to Vincent's Camelback Market. The article is a perfect preview of the treat that will be in store for you when you read her "roaming gourmet's guide" in the premier issue of Edible Phoenix.

And last, but definitely not least, the "Gallery" on the website provides a quick snapshot of the stunning local food images captured by award-winning photographer Carole Topalian.

The resources section of the website is still under construction. If you have any favorite local food organizations you'd like us to include, please send the information to newsevents@ediblephoenix.com. Or, if you'd just like to drop us a line, contact info@ediblephoenix.com.

Warm regards,
Pamela L. Hamilton
