When is Phoenix Cooks?

September 1, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Where is Phoenix Cooks?

The festival takes place at the Westin Kierland Resort in North Scottsdale.

How do I get tickets for Phoenix Cooks and how much are they?

Tickets are $75 each in advance, $90 each at the door. You can purchase them online (fees may apply). People who choose not to drink alcoholic beverages at the event may purchase Designated Driver Tickets for $40 each. Children under 6 years old will be admitted free, ages 6 through 20 may purchase the Designated Driver tickets.

Are discounts to Phoenix Cooks available?

A discounted price, as mentioned above, is offered if you buy tickets in advance. No other coupons are offered that I know of.

What else should I know about Phoenix Cooks?

Phoenix Cooks affords participants the opportunity to see culinary demonstrations on several stages and sample Chef creations and spirits as well as shop in the marketplace.

No strollers are permitted, so if you are bringing any children under the age of six you must carry them at all times. My recommendation is to leave them with a babysitter.

Once again Phoenix Cooks will offer classes on more than ten different topics during Phoenix Cooks. Each class lasts about 30 minutes and a maximum of 25 attendees are permitted in each class. You may register for the classes in advance. The charge is $10 per class in advance, and you must be registered for Phoenix Cooks in order to participate. Any available seats for classes will be offered at $15 per ticket on the day of the event.

Do you have pictures of Phoenix Cooks?

Yes, I do. See the Phoenix Cooks photo gallery from the 2012 event.
