STATE COOKING SHOW TO FEATURE AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER Commissioner of Agriculture Gus R. Douglass will join Chef Harvey Christie at the State Fair of West Virginia for a taping of the popular West Virginia Public Broadcasting series, “West Virginia Cooks.” “Chef Harv” will help Commissioner Douglass prepare a beef recipe using West Virginia-grown petite beef during the taping, which will take place Tuesday, August 12, 2003 at 2 p.m. in the Gus R. Douglass Annex building. “Beef has become much leaner and healthful over the past 20 years, and is a nutritious part of any meal. West Virginia’s petite beef – beef grown completely on grass – is particularly lean, and is quite flavorful. I think consumers will be impressed with West Virginia petite beef, even if my culinary skills leave something to be desired,” joked Commissioner Douglass. The public is encouraged to attend the taping, which will also feature recipes using other West Virginia products. “Many people are not aware of the great West Virginia products that can be incorporated into a meal,” said Department of Agriculture Marketing and Development Director Jean Smith. “Besides the main ingredients, such as petite beef, there are a variety of West Virginia-produced sauces, marinades and mixes that can add a distinctive zip to your meals.” Many of those products will be on sale during the fair at the WVDA Country Store in the Douglass Annex building, added Smith. Those attending the taping are also invited to bring their favorite recipes along with them. Chef Christie will feature some of those recipes in future shows. |
