FOOD AWARDS 2009
Sunday, May 31, 2009
There's much cause to celebrate this evening, and who doesn't like a birthday party! Grace Kitchens has reached the venerable age of 40, a significant milestone in the life of any organisation.
Grace Kitchens has over the past four decades not only developed and shared recipes in every nook and cranny of Jamaica, but has brought the stunning visuals of its culinary creations into the living rooms of its consumers through Jamaica's first television cooking show, Creative Cooking.

| The Chairman's Award to - Grace Kitchens on their 40th Anniversary was presented by Sandals CEO Adam Stewart to Grace Kitchens chef and television personality Mazie Miller. |
This programme teaches individuals how to prepare healthy meals on a budget and has given staples like canned mackerel and sausage a whole new twist - much to the delight of consumers.
This roving kitchen provides nutrition education to all ages with a particular focus on our youth, helping them to appreciate foods that were enjoyed by previous generations. To that end, Grace Kitchens has worked closely with various interest groups to carry out its mandate and are especially pleased to have been a supporter of the Reggae Boyz Road to France nutritional programme in 1998 and, in fact, continues to sponsor the National Football programme.
This dedicated team carries the message of good nutrition, helping to "pass on the love" to their valued customers. Other Grace Kitchens activities include a breakfast feeding programme in schools, lecture demonstrations, training programmes and a radio programme.
The 40th anniversary season of activities promises lots more love - the company has for its new Creative Cooking series invested in a brand-new state-of-the art locally manufactured kitchen outfitted with cutting-edge appliances and will for its new series host celebrities and chefs, and will continue to expose students at the secondary and vocational level. The Celebrity Series will feature personalities such as: Karen Smith, AJ Brown, Ity and Fancy Cat, Tarrus Riley, Cameal "Rising Star" Davis and Peter Lloyd, among others. The chef series will feature upcoming chefs, while students from the secondary school system will have a programme dedicated to them.
Grace Kitchens has launched its lifestyle magazine known as Grace Kitchens Connections for distribution to Home Economics department in schools as well as to home-makers across Jamaica, and there's St Anne's Infant where time, treasures and talent will be invested.
There's no doubt that the next 40 years will see heaps of love passed on, not to mention bowls of simmering comfort foods like their wonderful creamy hominy porridge.
