Last August, the California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) sponsored the inaugural Cal-Mex Invitational, a culinary competition to find the nation’s top recipes that incorporate Hispanic-style cheeses and dairy from California with Mexican cuisine and California flavors. A digital cookbook with the winning recipes is now available.
Six nationally acclaimed chefs prepared innovative, original recipes in three categories – Appetizer, Entrée, and Dessert – with over $22,000 in cash prizes available. And now, the opportunity to bring these on-trend recipes to your kitchen is here with the exclusive 2022 Cal-Mex Invitational Recipe Book.
Visit https://calmex.realcaliforniamilk.com/recipe-book/ to view the in-depth Recipe Book, which includes:
- Instructions & ingredients to prepare each recipe
- A background on Cal-Mex cuisine and Hispanic-style cheeses from California
- A personal introduction from Judge Claudette Zepeda, San Diego Chef and Culinary Entrepreneur.
California is the home of Cal-Mex cuisine and the nation’s largest producer of Hispanic-style cheeses, as processors from the Golden State offer 25 unique varieties.
In addition to the Recipe Book, the Cal-Mex Invitational website (https://calmex.realcaliforniamilk.com) includes inspirational videos from each chef, featured cheeses used, information about the California Milk Advisory Board, and more.
