Join us to celebrate local chef, Alison Grace, on the release of her first cookbook!
Chef Alison 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 under her toque, including 20 years teaching cooking and culinary arts to students of all ages, Alison decided it was time to add “cookbook author” to her career accomplishments.
Savor is a carefully curated collection of Alison’s favorite recipes, themed classes, and menus for enthusiastic home cooks to create festive gatherings for friends and family.
“Every day could and should be treated like a special occasion – a reason to celebrate another day of living!” she says, “and what better way to bring people together than with food?”
