For the first time, the area's finest and most beloved chefs (and the foodies who love them) will unite in Fort Worth for a long weekend of truly extraordinary cuisine.
The Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival honors the distinctive nature of Fort Worth cooking, food, beverage and culinary traditions in a multi-day festival highlighting gastronomy diversity in Fort Worth and North Texas. It will bring national and regional attention to the Fort Worth food scene and assist in sustaining chefs, restaurants and the local ranching and farming community.
To celebrate the Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival's inaugural event, Fort Worth, Texas magazine is publishing a commemorative cookbook highlighting favorite recipes submitted by the chefs as well wine pairings, chef profiles and other foodie features.
Here are some reasons you must get your copy today:
- The book features more than 100 pages of heavy gloss paper with large colorful photos of every recipe submitted by participating chefs. If you dribble a little sauce on your pages, it's easy cleanup.
- It has been assembled with recipes that are served up in the chefs" well-known restaurants. So you can attempt to create your favorite restaurant dishes at home.
- Recipes range from simple to complex. Depending on the occasion, you can whip up a quick Heirloom Tomato Salad or impress dinner guests with Duck Fat Poached Hamchi and Crepinette.
- There's a nice little sub-section on building the perfect burger. Festival chefs chime in on how they build burgers at their restaurants that keep guests coming back for more.
