Final days remain as Trump Miami Executive Chef seeks out family heirloom recipes and shares personal Florida favorites during first annual Mother's Day Recipe contest.
Miami, Florida (PRWEB) March 22, 2016 -- Kurtis Jantz, the Executive Chef at The Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida is in search of treasured recipes from coast to coast during the resorts' first annual "Heirloom Recipes with a Citrus Twist" Mother's Day recipe contest. In preparation for the resorts' Mother's Day brunch, Jantz is also sharing a few of his own citrus-inspired recipes, delivering a taste of the home-grown flavors now available at Trump Miami.
Why the citrus twist?
Chef Jantz has received a tremendous response from guests who have complimented his use of Florida-grown flavors on the menus throughout the, family- friendly, four star resort. "It's important to incorporate local ingredients grown in our backyards. Florida citrus is so versatile and an ingredient woven throughout our menus. For example, my Orange Blossom Florida Honey Bee Vinaigrette is a beautifully simple recipe that I am sharing. It delivers a fresh splash of Florida to any dish...and it is so easy for anyone to re-create at home." says Jantz.
