“Fork It Over” Girl Scout Cookie Culinary Event01:11PM / Friday, May 29, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. - The “Call for Chefs” for the Girl Scouts “Fork It Over” culinary event has been announced. The Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts invite area chefs to join a one-of-a-kind culinary experience. Most everyone has heard of, if not tasted, a Girl Scout cookie at some point in their life.
Participating chefs are asked to put a new spin on old favorites. Will they puree Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies to create a Thai Peanut Pork Loin? Or crush up Lemonades to create a decadent Lemon-Strawberry Cheesecake? Sweet or Savory, chefs may use one of the eight varieties of Girl Scout cookies to create what they will.
Space is limited. Once on board, chefs are provided a full selection of Girl Scout cookies to experiment with. When their recipe is ready, chefs are provided all the cookies necessary to create the final product. The finished creations are presented to a panel of judges at one of two Fork It Over events; October 15, 2009 at Eastover Resort in Lenox, or November 12, 2009 at the Publick House in Sturbridge. In addition, chefs are asked to create 100-200 bite-size portions for guests to taste. Tables are provided to all participants to display their creation and advertise their business. A chef’s commitment is needed by September 1st however intentions should be made as soon as possible to reserve space.
Both events are open to the public and both are a great way to support the Girl Scouts in your community.
