Starbucks Coffee's Culinary Event with Marcus Samuelsson September 20, 2007

Starbucks Coffee Company invites you to discover the unique flavors in your cup during the Company’s Coffee is Culinary Cooking Tour.

Two culinary experts – renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson and Starbucks master coffee blender Andrew Linnemann – will host a coffee and food pairing education session and cooking demonstration while providing a taste of what’s brewing in stores this fall:


• Two New Culinary Coffee Blends – Learn how Andrew and Marcus co-developed the Starbucks® Ubora Blend™ and Starbucks® Joya del Dia Blend™ to elevate the coffee experience to a flavorful new level.
• Discovery of a Continent: Foods, Flavors and Inspirations from Africa – Marcus will demo cuisine from this Starbucks-exclusive cookbook, which takes readers on a sensory journey through Africa. Any one of these creations can be paired with Starbucks coffee to enhance the rich flavors of both the cuisine and the coffee experience.


The event will also feature a special pairing with a new Coffee-Infused Ginger Cookie, the winning recipe from Starbucks local Avant-Grande Culinary competition, which will be available in New York Metro area stores until November 7.


**Complimentary samples of the latest pastries and beverages will be offered to attendees and Marcus will be available for book signings. This event is FREE and open to the public**
