The Cooking Show Announces Kitchen Demo Stage And Presenting Sponsor

The Cooking Show 2003, a Triangle event scheduled for October at the Raleigh Convention Center, announced that Kitchen and Bath Galleries will be the presenting sponsor of the event. In addition to Kitchen and Bath Galleries, the Cooking Show is also pleased to announce the presence of Intermezzo Magazine as a Media Sponsor.

The Cooking Show is a public event that celebrates the art of cooking, eating and enjoying good food and wine. Attractions include cooking demonstrations, food and wine samples, and exhibits by local and national food and cookware companies.

Kitchen and Bath Galleries, North Carolina's complete resource for your new Kitchen or Bath, will provide the main demonstration stage kitchen with the latest in stylish appliances and cabinetry. TV celebrity chef Alton Brown, who writes, produces, directs, and stars in each episode of his offbeat and entertaining cooking show, will use the Kitchen and Bath Galleries stage for his demonstrations as will local chef demonstrators.

Kitchen And Bath Galleries is excited to be part of this unique cooking and community event. We really see this as an opportunity to interact with cooking enthusiasts and introduce new kitchen technology and design. Plus, we think that this is a great reason for the community to come together and celebrate the art of cooking, said Kathy Wilfong, Marketing Director for Kitchen and Bath Galleries.

Intermezzo Magazine, a Media Sponsor at the Cooking Show, is a new magazine that explores a variety of cuisine, cooking, home, leisure, and travel.

An initial list of exhibitors at the event include Chef Mario's Personal Chef Service, Chez Bay Gourmet, Desi's Dew Meadery, Johnson and Wales University, and The Sanderling, and speakers include Dilip Barman, President of the Triangle Vegetarian Society, Madeleine Calder, owner of Blue Heaven Ostrich, Lila Chung of Delight Foods, Sheri Castle, teacher of many popular Triangle cooking classes, Jan Curry, creator of edible arts, Dave Kranyik, owner of a private events catering business, and Christine Zambito, executive chef at The Sanderling in Duck, NC.

Additionally, the Cooking Show will donate a portion of the event proceeds to the Family Violence Prevention Center of Orange County and will accept canned or other nonperishable items at the event to donate to the Food Bank of North Carolina.

The Cooking Show promises to be an all day culinary adventure where families can stir or saute, eat, explore, meet with speciality food producers, gourmet merchants, kitchen and equipment manufacturers, personal chefs, kitchen designers, and anyone who enjoys food and anything associated with it. This is the place to get ideas on anything from sushi to stir-fry, learn how to cook unique meals, cook with kids, plan for your next entertaining event, check out the latest in commercial-quality cooking equipment for the home, or simply book a personal chef for your Thanksgiving dinner.
