We are pleased to present the signature recipe collection from 1 Night, 12 Kitchens, the premier fundraising event benefiting the Midwest Culinary Institute (MCI) at Cincinnati State Technical & Community College.

On April 29, 2007, local professional chefs teamed up with faculty and students from MCI for a spectacular culinary display that showcased MCI’s state-of-the-art facilities. While each team prepared its dish, guests were invited to stroll through the kitchens for informal cooking demonstrations. All dishes were presented for sampling later at the tasting stations. Hosted by Cincinnati Magazine, the event raised $45,000 for Cincinnati State College Foundation Culinary Scholarships.

This exclusive recipe collection will allow you to recreate the magic of the event in your own kitchen. The recipes were developed and provided to us by the professional chefs, and they’re accompanied by stunning photography taken at the event by Lemos Photography, Daylight Photo and Gordon Morioka. Stylist Kate Gallion ensured that the dishes were all ready for their close-ups. We hope you enjoy them.

Bon Appétit!
