Cherry
Creations contains many delicious recipes using cherries. It is the
result of cooperation from many facets of the
cherry industry, including chefs, farm-based cooks
and others. The National Cherry Festival, an acclaimed
family attraction, celebrates the cherry annually.
Much
of what you'll find in this cookbook is the result
of a continual search by The National Cherry Festival
for outstanding recipes. Every year, this organization
hosts a recipe search and contest for amateur
chefs to cook up what they believe to be unique
gourmet cherry fare. The "Taste of Cherries"
event collects up to 100 recipes from throughout the
Midwest. In cooperation with its sponsors, the
National Cherry Festival's Taste of Cherries event
produces a scholarship for students pursuing a
career in the culinary arts field.
