LOCAL CHEF-OF-THE-MONTH TO HIGHLIGHT FINAL FARMERS MARKET OF THE SEASON AT THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY CENTER

When the final farmers market of the season gets underway at the Westchester County Center in White Plains on Sunday, March 14, guest Chef Michael Cutney from Café of Love in Mount Kisco will treat shoppers to a special cooking demonstration.   

Having distinguished himself in the kitchens of Danny Meyers' Union Square Cafe and Tabla in New York City, Michael Cutney took over the helm at Cafe of Love in June of 2008. The farm-to-table experience at the restaurant is showcased in Chef Cutney’s daily relationships with local farmers and growers, making him a regional leader in Westchester’s movement towards sustainable agriculture. His skillful French technique and passion for sophisticated comfort food has made him one of Westchester's leading chefs. 

Beginning at 12:30 p.m., Cutney will prepare his special carrot soup and carmelized onion risotto. Shoppers will be treated to free tastes during the demonstration and copies of his recipes will be available.

The Farmers Market features more than 30 New York State farmers and food producers offering a variety of produce, meats, cheese, baked goods and wines. Entertainment will be provided by singer/songwriter Peter C. "Petey Hop" Hopkinson.

The market runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free. Parking at the County Center lot is $4. A discount parking coupon is available at www.countycenter.biz.

The Farmers Market is sponsored by Westchester County Parks, radio station 107.1 The Peak and Friends of Westchester County Parks, Inc.
