SAVOR DALLAS LAUNCHES COOKBOOK
WITH 2008 EVENT
Special Collection to Feature
"At-Home" Recipes of North Texas' Leading Chefs
DALLAS (October 26, 2007) - In addition to enjoying the amazing signature recipes of North Texas' leading fine-dining destinations at the Savor Dallas International Grand Tasting on March 8, 2008, wine and food enthusiasts can also relish all the fun of cooking a special collection of "everyday" recipes from the region's celebrity chefs in the first Savor Dallas Cookbook.
The content for the cookbook was based on research Savor Dallas conducted about what consumers want these days in recipes and cookbooks from celebrity chefs.
"We learned from the publishing industry that the home-cook really wants to know what the experts cook for their families - the recipes that are favorites of chefs for everyday living," said Savor Dallas co-founder Jim White. "It will be exciting to share with everyone this aspect of our Grand Tasting participants' culinary creativity, making their signature styles accessible for cooks at all levels of experience to enjoy!"
The Savor Dallas Cookbook will retail at $14.95 and will be available February 1. Advanced purchases of the cookbook can be made at www.savordallas.com. The Savor Dallas Cookbook also will be available at Savor Dallas and at special events leading up to the March 7-8 event.
Proceeds from the sales of this special publication of Savor Dallas will benefit The Greater Dallas Restaurant Association's culinary education program to create scholarships for aspiring young students in the Dallas area who are qualified to pursue advanced culinary training.
 
North Texas' premier wine and food weekend returns March 7 and 8 with a renewed focus on Downtown Dallas. The Savor Dallas Arts District Wine Stroll returns to the renowned Nasher Sculpture Center and Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. A Savor Dallas "Friday evening ticket" will also allow attendees to enjoy a Celebration in Victory Park's AT&T Plaza, including a film screening with AFI DALLAS on March 7 (two great events with one ticket).
Also in 2008, the highly anticipated "International Grand Tasting" moves downtown to the beautiful Plaza of the Americas and Westin City Center Hotel (the official host hotel for Savor Dallas). More than 60 of North Texas' top chefs will showcase their signature recipes on Saturday, March 8, along with over 500 premium wines, spirits and beers. The ultimate epicurean experience features vintners, artisan producers and purveyors from around the globe.
Tickets for Savor Dallas are on sale online at www.SavorDallas.com.
Other exciting North Texas events featuring celebrity chefs and vintners will be announced in the coming weeks.
Savor Dallas 2007 brought more than 4,000 attendees to Dallas and North Texas, with attendees from North Texas and across the state, as well as from 14 other states across the country.
Since its founding in 2004, Savor Dallas has contributed generously to the Greater Dallas Restaurant Association's Culinary Scholarship Program, The Arts Magnet Building Campaign for Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, and the North Texas Food Bank. |
