PLANO, Texas, Sept. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- It's time to forgo the notion that only professionally trained chefs using gourmet ingredients and difficult techniques can produce master culinary creations. Stacy's® Snacks has partnered with Hugh Acheson, James Beard Foundation award-winning chef, author and restaurateur, to create top chef-worthy snacks without the intimidation. Snacking is more commonly replacing meals for Americans with busy schedules, so Stacy's is inspiring people to create gourmet snacks that use fresh ingredients from your kitchen, without a major time commitment.
"Stacy's Pita Chips are a pantry staple, but people don't realize they can also be a great culinary inspiration," said Acheson. "We're breaking from convention to show how a snack can be gourmet and regionally inspired, while also being simple to prepare and free from elaborate instructions or hard-to-find ingredients. No matter your cooking acumen or how short you are on time, with Stacy's, you'll have a delicious result every time."
Stacy's, a supporting sponsor of Taste America, and Chef Acheson are making sure anyone can create delicious snack recipes from a list of ingredients you can count on one hand. A recent survey from Stacy's1 found that nearly two-thirds of women (64 percent) say a recipe must have fewer than five ingredients or they're hesitant to make it. That is why each recipe, inspired by the 10 cities on the James Beard Foundation's 2016 Taste America tour, features easy-to-use, interesting ingredients Americans can find at home or at a local grocery store.
The Stacy's survey found more than 50 percent of women prefer to make snacks that require little or no prep-time using ingredients they already have in their kitchen or pantry1. Stacy's will now help women nationwide do just that with easy-to-make recipes that will be unveiled during the national tour, providing a first-hand, no-stress gourmet experience.
"We know that our consumers are pressed for time, but still want to create delicious snacks that feel like a culinary adventure. Stacy's is demonstrating how they can have both by being the ideal snack pairing for the ingredients already found in their kitchen," said Katie Ceclan, senior director of marketing, Stacy's Snacks. "We are proud to partner with Chef Acheson, who created an artful collection of fuss-free snacks featuring Stacy's."
For the 2016 Taste America tour, Chef Acheson created a New York City white pizza-inspired snack using ricotta, fresh thyme and arugula to pay homage to one of the best food destinations in the world. Served atop Stacy's® Simply Naked® Pita Chips, Acheson's NYC-Style Pita Chips with Herbed Ricotta and Arugula are made with simple ingredients that can be easily found at most supermarkets. Additional recipes can be found at StacysSnacks.com – all have simple instructions to help any home cook impress, not stress.
"We believe in fostering a delicious dialogue about America's culinary landscape," said Susan Ungaro, president of the James Beard Foundation. "Chef Acheson's one-of-a-kind creations using Stacy's Snacks embrace the culture and flair of each region of the country, while inspiring Americans of all cooking skill levels to find culinary success."
