Wednesday, May 20th marked the start of the 8th annual Primavera Cooks! fundraising series in collaboration with Tucson Originals restaurants. This summer-long event series offers up the chance for Tucsonans to dine out for a good cause, or even help prepare meals as an apprentice chef or an apprentice sommelier at some of Tucson’s favorite restaurants. Even better? All of the proceeds from this fun-and-food-filled series of cooking and dining events goes toward the Primavera Foundation, a local nonprofit organization providing resources, education and outreach programs for the homelessness and poverty-stricken in southern Arizona.
