The Edit

Arizona Chef's Week is more than a dining event. It's a chance to revisit favorite restaurants, discover new chefs, and support Arizona's incredible culinary community during one of its quietest seasons. Here's where I'll be making reservations this year.

Lick Me by Michela Mezzetti is the summer vanilla I took a detour for in San Gimignano. A creamy, playful gourmand with whipped cream, fiordilatte gelato, powdered sugar, iris, vanilla, amber, and a little Italian mischief, paired with the San Gimignano wine that turned into a winery stop and a case order.

Explore tea-inspired perfumes with creamy, airy, and spiced notes with cocktail pairings and Arizona destinations.

Carioca Heart by JusBox meets Caduceus Hilltop PetNat for a desert night pairing with music in its DNA, plus Velvet Slippers and a Verde Val

I wore Akro Bake to Virtù Honest Craft and paired it with Pecorino. Here’s why this lemon pastry gourmand and crisp Italian white wine work together, plus a Vermentino option to try at home.
