Me and My Chef to Introduce New Cooking Instruction Gift Set at the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market(R)

A new and simple instructional cooking product will make its debut at the world's largest permanent wholesale marketplace in Atlanta on January 9-13, 2009. Me and My Chef, Inc., an educational cooking merchandise company, will launch "You're Cooking Now...With Chef Sal," the first item in its line of instructional products to help people develop a natural talent for cooking. The item will be offered for wholesale purchase to buyers attending the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishing Market show at AmericasMart® Atlanta. The product comes in a glossy red gift box with four DVDs featuring world-renowned international chef Salomon Montezinos preparing 40 healthy recipes, a full-color companion cookbook and ingredient cards to make shopping for recipe items easy.

"We're excited about our exhibit at the Atlanta show," says General Manager Richard Gargano. "Gift shop owners and distributors attending the event will like the product's profit margin and how easy it is to sell what we affectionately call 'chef in a box' to people that want to learn how to cook."

Chef Salomon (Sal) Montezinos was one of the first chefs to use a style of cooking based on Oriental concepts coupled with French techniques. "You're Cooking Now...With Chef Sal" features signature recipes by Chef Sal, who is featured in the Culinary Hall of Fame.

Me and My Chef will offer the gift set to wholesalers for $49.95. "You're Cooking Now...With Chef Sal" will be available for public purchase through the company's website for $79.95 after the show.

Attendees of the show are encouraged to register as a distributor at and facilitate all their future inventory needs through the company's ecommerce site. Guests that visit the Me and My Chef booth in Atlanta can meet Chef Sal and register to win prizes each day of the event.

Me and My Chef is based in Naples, Florida, and creates instructional videos and products that feature the works of acclaimed and accomplished chefs. The company intends to expand its services to include an online member community, cooking demonstrations through seminars and webinars, and additional DVD/cookbook gift sets.
