Akron, Ohio — March 9, 2004 — More Than Gourmet has
become a top level Gold Sponsor for the prestigious Bocuse d'Or gourmet
competition. Chefs participating in the American phase of the event will use
More Than Gourmet products as part of their recipe development and food
preparation.
 The
Bocuse d'Or World
Cuisine Contest was born in 1987, the creation of French Chef Paul
Bocuse, one of the founders of nouvelle cuisine, and Albert Romain, the
organizer of the International Food Trade Exhibition. Their goal was to
create a gastronomic contest that would bring the world's greatest chefs
into the spotlight and give an international audience an up-close view of
the masters at work.
The United States has competed in this culinary contest since its inception.
American chefs compete for the right to represent the United States in the
worldwide competition to be held in Lyon, France, January 25, 2005. In Lyon,
the American representative will again compete against chefs representing 24
countries.
More Than Gourmet is sponsoring
the American portion of the competition. Chefs will use the company's Classic
French Stocks and Sauces as part of their recipe development. They
will re-create their recipes at the 85th Annual National Restaurant
Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show at Chicago's McCormick Place, May
22-25, 2004.
"We are proud to have our
products associated with the best chefs in the world as part of the Bocuse
d'Or competition," said company CEO Brad Sacks. "More Than
Gourmet has always stood for culinary excellence in everything we do,
whether we're creating products for the professional chef or the home
gourmet. Bocuse d'Or represents the same high standards and ideals for
creating the very best in Classical French Cooking."
More Than Gourmet is the first and
only company to produce a full line of Classic French Stocks and Sauces
without chemicals, preservatives, fillers or other ingredients not found
in Chef Master Auguste Escoffier's traditional recipes. For more
