Holiday Dinner 2010

Holiday Cocktail Party 2010

Chef Jamie McFadden Answers the First Lady’s Call!

On September 14th, Chef Jamie McFadden of Cuisiniers will start his first class at Morning Star School in College Park, but don’t worry, Jamie isn’t hanging up his chef’s hat.

Instead, Chef Jamie McFadden is joining 1,600 chefs across the nation in Michelle Obama’s “Chefs Move to School” program.  The program calls for each of the chefs to adopt a school in their community and volunteer their time to help generate excitement about nutritious foods through school gardens, cooking demonstrations, taste tests, and more.  Jamie has selected to adopt Morning Star Catholic School in College Park, a school that caters specifically to students with special needs.

Chefs Move to School provides resources to help the chefs get started, but encourages all the chefs to find new opportunities and possibilities to engage students, teachers, food service staff, and parents as they support their adopted school.  The program has also set up a website (LetsMove.gov) and a Facebook fanpage to follow the progress of each chef on their own unique profile!

For more information on the program, visit LetsMove.gov.

First Annual Winter Park Harvest Festival!

Cuisiniers is proud to support the first annual Winter Park Harvest Festival to be held on November 20, 2010 at Central Park’s West Meadow in downtown Winter Park!

The Harvest Festival is a full day celebration of farmers, gardeners, and the local food-shed of Winter Park.  Along with a market, seminars, and workshops, the Festival is promoting a “mobile community garden” in which guests can contribute to a community garden.  Participants grow a garden ahead of time in a portable pot and bring it to the Festival to donate.  All the “Grow Boxes” from area schools, churches, and families are then collected and put together to form one large community garden.

Chef Jamie McFadden of Cuisiniers is on the planning committee for the Harvest Dinner and will be volunteering his time to ensure that the event runs smoothly.

For more information about the Festival, visit winterparkharvestfestival.com.
