New York, NY (PRWEB) August 31, 2015 -- On September 18, 2015, Food Network Chef Ellie Krieger will join forces with Chef Elliott Prag of Natural Gourmet Institute and John Ragan, Director of Wine and Restaurant Operations at Union Square Hospitality Group to cook up a delicious and healthy meal to benefit local non-profit Wellness in the Schools (WITS). 100% of the proceeds from the dinner, which is part of the WITS 10th Anniversary “10 for 10” dinner series, will be donated to Wellness in the Schools, an organization that inspires healthy eating, environmental awareness and fitness as a way of life for kids in public schools.

Guests will be treated to a cocktail hour with an array of seasonal hors d'oeuvres made with local ingredients, followed by a classic four-course dinner with wine pairings. The evening's menu will celebrate the end-of-summer bounty from local farms and purveyors and include dishes such as: Oyster Mushroom Ceviche in a Crispy Wonton, Edamame Cream on Seeded Flatbreads, Roasted Garlic and White Beans on Rosemary Pizzelle, Golden Melon and Yellow Tomato Gazpacho with Basil Oil, as well as Local Catch of the Day, Summer Ratatouille, Creamy Polenta, and more. The menu will also feature delicious and fragrant basil from Gotham Greens, a local urban rooftop garden.

“Wellness in the Schools makes a huge difference in children’s lives,” says Chef Ellie Krieger. “I’ve been involved with this organization since the early years and am so excited to help celebrate their tenth birthday, and to support all the good work they do.”

The dinner will also be hosted by WITS Executive Chef and Chef/Owner of Telepan restaurant, Bill Telepan, and WITS Founder/Executive Director Nancy Easton.
