The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $15,000 by August 9.
Congrats to “food philosopher” Nikki Buchanan on her two-day-old baby, The Wild Lavender.
The longtime local restaurant critic, who freelances for The Arizona Republic’s “Everyday Dining” beat and spent the better part of her career with Phoenix Magazine, just launched her own blog, where she’ll be writing about all the “topics for which there’s often no room in print.”
Interestingly, Buchanan has decided to ditch anonymity altogether, and will begin hosting weekly Wild Lavender cooking classes with Estate House chef Gio Osso. Starting February 27, the classes cost $100 apiece, run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and include lunch and wine.
