Chef Reilly Meehan
Desert Design Week will kick off with NIGHT ONE: “A Little Bit Extra,” a cookbook release party with Chef Reilly Meehan that will offer high energy, big flavor and extra touches everywhere. Scheduled for Thursday, April 16, 4-7 p.m., in the Biltmore Fashion Park courtyard, 2502 E. Camelback Road, tickets are $55 and include a copy of the book and the experience.
The book is Meehan’s love letter to “making everyday cooking feel like something worth showing up for.” Built on familiar flavors and crowd favorite ingredients, the book is packed with the small, smart moves he uses as a private chef to level up color, texture and flavor without overcomplicating the process.
During the book release event, guests will enjoy bites from “A Little Bit Extra,” refreshments and fun experiences throughout, including a DJ, Chef Reilly signing books and meeting guests with his signature “a little bit extra” charm, plus a few surprises. Tickets are available online at www.desertdesignweek.com/chefreilly/alittlebitextra.
“Desert Design Week is all about creativity and community, and Chef Reilly is an incredible local creative who is all about bringing people together around the shared joy of food,” said Desert Design Week creator Ruth Price. “Come ready to enjoy a beautiful evening on the Biltmore Fashion Park courtyard lawn, taste, toast, and leave with a signed book.”
