HOLYOKE – The “Call for Chefs” for the Girl Scouts Fork It Over culinary event has been announced. Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts is bringing Fork It Over back to Holyoke, June 23, and invites area chefs to join a one-of-a-kind culinary experience.
Most everyone has heard of, if not tasted, a Girl Scout cookie at some point in their life. Participating chefs are asked to put a new spin on old favorites. Will they puree Do-Si-Dos cookies to create a Thai Peanut Pork Loin? Or crush up Savannah Smiles for a light, lemon cheesecake? Savory or sweet, chefs may use any of the eight varieties of Girl Scout cookies to create what they will. From Samoa Coconut Shrimp to Thin Mint Mississippi Mud Bars, there is no shortage of creativity at Fork It Over.
Space is limited. Once on board, chefs are provided a full selection of Girl Scout cookies to experiment with. When their recipe is ready, chefs are provided all the cookies necessary to create the final product. The finished creations are presented to a panel of judges at the Fork It Over event on June 23 at the Delaney House in Holyoke. The evening will feature a silent auction, raffle and live musical entertainment. Chefs are asked to create approximately 250 bite-size portions of their creation for guests to taste. Tables and linens are provided to all chefs to display their creation and advertise their business. Chef commitment deadline is May 1 and recipes are due June 3.
The event is open to the public and is a great way to support the Girl Scouts in your community. Tickets are $30 each or two tickets for $50 for advance purchases, and are available online at yourtimewellspent.org. All tickets at the door on June 23 are $30 each.
