The Primavera Cooks! Summer Dinner series is quite possibly the most fun you will ever have at a charity fundraising dinner. Each year we fill select Tucson Originals restaurants like Janos, Acacia and Pastiche with a lively group of socially conscious diners who want to support the programs and services of Primavera and have a great night out. Join us for one of these four or five course, wine-paired, gourmet dinners created by some of Tucson’s top chefs and find out why diners return year after year.

In addition to the regular Cooks! dinners, this year we are excited to host two additional dinners for corporations in our community. On March 22, we had the pleasure of hosting a fabulous dinner at Pastiche for Raytheon, which was organized by the Raytheon Women’s Network. On June 6th we will be hosting a dinner at the Arizona Inn for our Title Sponsor, Cox Communications. This will be the fourth consecutive year that Cox has partnered with Primavera in both of these capacities. THANK YOU, COX! Learn more about how you can host a corporate event in the Cooks! Summer series.

Become an Apprentice Chef

Have you ever wanted to cook in a professional kitchen alongside a world class chef for a room full of discerning diners and friends? Primavera Cooks! can make it happen as an Apprentice Chef. You choose from one of the select Tucson Original restaurants, including Tavolino, Kingfisher, Le Rendez-Vous and others, help plan the menu with the chef, participate in the preparation and creation of the dishes with professional cooks and then plate up the dinners for the servers to take to the dining room. James Beard Award winning Chef, Janos Wilder of Janos restaurant, has been sharing his recipes and techniques with aspiring chefs for nine years and personally supervises each step of his dinner. Make your dream of cooking in a restaurant a reality and sign up as a Primavera Cooks! Apprentice Chef. The cost is $250, a portion of which may be tax deductible. Apprentice Chefs are responsible for bringing or recruiting at least five diners to their dinners.

For more information about becoming an Apprentice Chef contact Primavera Cooks! Coordinator at 623-5111 x 101 or cooks@primavera.org.

Attend a Primavera Cooks! Dinner

Enjoy the fruits of the Restaurateurs’ and Apprentices’ labor at these gourmet wine dinners. Dinners are $125, $50 of which is tax deductible. All reservations are made with Primavera directly and not with the host restaurants. You must pay the Primavera Foundation in advance.

For all reservations contact Primavera Cooks! Coordinator at 308-3104 or cooks@primavera.org.

Sponsor Primavera Cooks!

Highlight your business or group by joining forces with Primavera and underwriting one of our dinners. Sponsorships play a critical part in the success of the Primavera Cooks! dinners because underwriting dollars allow the money raised from each dinner to go directly toward Primavera’s programs and services for our homeless and working poor community members, while providing important recognition for those businesses and individuals.

To sponsor an event contact Primavera Cooks! Coordinator at 308-3104 or cooks@primavera.org.

Garner great publicity and kudos for your company or group while also rewarding clients, staff, elected officials and vendors at an unforgettable night out.
