Join us for the release of chef Alison Milwe Grace's first cookbook, Savor: Recipes to Celebrate. Savor is a carefully curated collection of favorite recipes, themed classes, and menus for enthusiastic home cooks to create festive gatherings for friends and family.
Milwe Grace grew up in Westport, Connecticut where she began her lifelong love affair with food and cooking. After working in restaurants throughout her college years at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst Hotel & Restaurant School, she attended the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City, where she earned a degree in Baking & Pastry Arts and a certificate in French Cooking Technique. She went on to enjoy a successful run as Executive Chef at an Award-winning Fairfield County restaurant, and soon started her own catering company, AMG Catering & Events.
With 30 years of food industry experience, including 20 years teaching cooking and culinary arts to students of all ages, Milwe Grace decided it was time to add "cookbook author" to her career accomplishments.
“Every day could and should be treated like a special occasion – a reason to celebrate another day of living!” Milwe Grace said, “And what better way to bring people together than with food?”
