ANNAPOLIS, MD\u2014<\/strong>Governor Larry Hogan today announced the 16 recipes that will be featured at the 12th\u00a0Annual\u00a0Buy Local Cookout<\/a>, which celebrates\u00a0Maryland\u2019s Buy Local Challenge Week<\/a>, July 20-28, and encourages all Marylanders to eat at least one locally grown, made, or harvested product each day. The cookout, hosted by Governor Hogan and First Lady Yumi Hogan, will be held at Government House on Thursday, July 18.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year, local chefs submit recipes for the Buy Local Cookout that highlight the Maryland farmers, watermen, and producers that work tirelessly to provide our state with a diverse selection of agricultural products, world-class seafood, and Maryland-made products,\u201d said Governor Hogan. \u201cThe cookout is a great reminder of the many benefits to buying locally, and I encourage all Marylanders to join me in taking the Buy Local Challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

This spring, Governor Hogan invited teams of local chefs and producers to submit original recipes that highlight the diversity of Maryland products. Over 40 recipes were submitted and 16 were selected. The First Lady and Government House chefs will provide an entr\u00e9e and dessert for the cookout.<\/p>\n

Recipes were selected based on availability of ingredients, geographic representation, maximum use of local ingredients, and creativity. This year also features recipes by student chefs from Crossland High School in Prince George\u2019s County, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore at the Universities at Shady Grove, and the Chesapeake Culinary Center in Caroline County.<\/p>\n

All recipe submissions will be published in a cookbook titled\u00a0Recipes from the<\/em>\u00a02019 Maryland Buy Local Cookout,\u00a0<\/em>which will include wine, beer, or spirits pairing recommendations from the\u00a0Maryland Wineries Association<\/a>,\u00a0Brewers Association of Maryland<\/a>,\u00a0and the\u00a0Maryland Distillers Guild<\/a>. The cookbook will be available\u00a0online<\/a>\u00a0when completed next month.<\/p>\n
