Missouri Local Foods Cooking Demonstration

Looking to highlight your superb culinary skills? Want to show off your kitchen handy-work or maybe even your special homemade product? Well here’s your chance!

The Missouri Department of Agriculture Farmers’ Market Program presents the 1st annual Missouri Local Foods Cooking Demonstration at the 2009 Missouri State Fair August 13th-23rd. Chefs from across the state will be demonstrating their cooking skills using foods from local vendors.

Each chef will have a cook top with two burners, refrigeration services and a grill top. These demonstrations will last about one hour between 10 AM and 4 PM each day of the fair in the Missouri Agriculture Building. Also located in the Agriculture Building will be a farmers’ market featuring local foods as well as the AgriMissouri Market which will sell Missouri made products!

Interested in showcasing your skills? Call Cassie St.Onge at 573-522-9245 or via email Cassandra.St.Onge@mda.mo.gov.
