This past weekend I joined my brother-in-law Wayne Schutsky at the Desert Botanical Gardens as he went through Devour on behalf of
Modern Times Magazine and
East Valley Tribune, I snapped photographs for his stories and thought I might share some of my favorite vegetarian offerings from the event here, but I'll also be posting more in depth coverage on my
food blog in collaboration with Stephanie Sparer, and you can read more about that
here. But for now here's a look at the Valley's local vegetarian friendly samplings from Devour Phoenix 2018...
was there with a whipped ricotta cheese, lemon curd and honey glaze. The bread was fluffy and crusty a perfect breakfast dessert, tart and sweet, I should have gone back for more.
The Vig had flour-less chocolate cake, hooray for gluten-free, vegetarians.
Tempe Public Market with an arugula and citrus salad. I would eat this all summer long,
Popcycle blond beer from
O.H.S.O.
Plantain Fosters from
Otro Cafe and Gallo Blanco
Leafy greens fro
m Merkin Vineyards, a perfect excuse for a day trip to Cottonwood.
Not an edible just beautiful.
In addition to the desert and desserts, Artist, Jesse Perry of
@mrdowntownphx, was painting in one of the VIP section of Devour.
Probably my favorite food of the day came from Chef Dahl of
Mariposa in Sedona, a lentil walnut croquet, I wonder if this one is in her
cookbook.
Chocolate Shakes from
Loews Ventana Canyon.
Amazing Arizona baked bread from one of Loew's Ventana Canyon Resort Flavor Tucson Partner;
Barrio Bread in Tucson. We actually bought a loaf there last time we were in Tucson and appropriately enough stayed at Loew's!
Also this delicious slightly spicy carrot salad, but sadly I must have been binge eating because I have no idea where they were from. But I promise to update as soon as I find out!
Cannolis from
Cibo.
Asparagus Toast from
True Food Kitchen.
Edible Flowers in this cocktail from
The Windsor.
Press Coffee brewing fresh coffee and pouring nitro for the early morning attendees. The event started at 10:30 for VIPS. But you guys, its always 'early' if its before noon. and then you need an afternoon pick me up. There is no bad time for coffee.
High Spirited Cupcakes
Dole Whip from
Bitter and Twisted.
Squash cake from
Kai
Vegan Tamale from Chef Jones of
the Larder + the Delta
Cacio e Pepe from
the Parlor
Spirits from
O.H.S.O.
Elote Cafe, I'm 99% sure this was vegetarian, but I can't remember if had pork in it. I'm gonna include it anyway.
Cocktails amongst the Cacti
Citizen Public House
I'll share more over at
BFC later this week what are your favorite Vegetarian Phoenix Local Restaurants?
