25 years of great Asparagus Festival Recipes all in one book!
16 Dec 2010 | No Comments | posted by MrAsp | in Food
If you are still looking for that great gift for your fellow asparagus lover you need to order, the 171 page collection of recipes from the past 25 years of the festival. It’s a compilation from the Stockton
Asparagus Festival, past cookbooks, files of the California Asparagus Commission, and top winners of the annual Recipe Contest.
This special edition is dedicated to the three gentlemen responsible for founding this long-lasting, nationally acclaimed food festival: Bill DePaoli, California Asparagus Grower’s Commission; Joe Travale, Stockton Convention and Visitors Bureau; and Gordon Medlin, Bank of Stockton.
The book also contains a congratulatory letter from Martin Yan, who has been the featured celebrity chef for over a decade. He says, “I have been to food festivals all over the world, and I must say that the Asparagus Alley is as unique as it gets.” “The best thing that I get to take with me after the festival, he claims, is the collection of great recipes.”
In addition to recipes for appetizers, soups, salads, main dishes, side dishes, sauces and dressings, the book also contains some history of the green stalk, as well as tips on how to select, store and prepare. There are also informative sections about the Festival, Asparagus Alley, the California Asparagus Commission, and the annual Recipe Contest.
Also appropriate to celebrate 25 years of the Stockton Asparagus Festival, the illustrations throughout the pages are by local artist Bill Kobus from the original 1986 “Asparagus, All Ways…Always.”
