Paradise Valley City Lifestyle magazine’s March issue features a 4-page article showcasing renowned architect Mark Candelaria’s other talent - cooking. It highlights all of the client dinners he has hosted in his home, his office’s showroom kitchen, and of course in the client’s completed kitchens he’s designed. Many of his clients choose special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries for Mark’s special meal as it really is memorable. In fact, it’s gotten to the point where dinners hosted by Mark now raise thousands of dollars at fundraising events!! Mark says, “It’s a great way to build and create great relationships.” He also loves it because unlike architecture where it takes years to complete a home, “I can cook a dinner in two to three hours and get the same feeling of satisfaction.”
