Market to Menu Cooking Demonstration June 20, 2009

The Texas Department of Agriculture's new From Market to Menu partnership program helps certified farmers' markets promote local growers and Texas restaurants committed to serving local products. On Saturday, June 20, 2009 GO TEXAN Chefs Janice Provost and Chad Houser from Parigi Restaurant will prepare fresh locally grown products during an outdoor cooking demonstration at the Dallas Farmers Market beginning at 10:00 a.m. and a second demonstration at 11:30 a.m. The Market is located at 1010 S. Pearl Expressway Dallas, TX 75201 for complete information please visit www.dallasfarmersmarket.org or call 214-670-5880.

The cooking demonstrations will incorporate fresh Texas ingredients directly from the farmers markets, giving consumers an opportunity to taste and buy Texas produce and food. Participants will understand that local, sustainable products are going to be fresher. The chef will be able to explain that when your cooking is seasonally and locally-based, you might need to be more creative with what is grown locally.

Join us for this FREE demonstration and see how Chefs support local Texas farmers and Texas-grown products – and the connection is complete from Market to Menu.
