FAGE Partners with Chef Bobby Flay to Launch the Plain Kitchen

JOHNSTOWN, N.Y., Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FAGE, Greece's leading yogurt company, has partnered with Bobby Flay, chef, restaurateur and cookbook author, to help everyday chefs create extraordinary meals using the simplest of ingredients: plain Greek yogurt.  Those looking for plain inspiration can visit the Plain Kitchen menu at fageusa.com/plainkitchen, which features exclusive, inventive recipes featuring FAGE Total and step-by-step cooking demonstrations by master chef Bobby Flay.

"FAGE Total is a staple in my refrigerator.  Everyone knows FAGE Total is a delicious Greek yogurt, but what most people don't realize is how versatile it is as an ingredient – it truly can be incorporated into all sorts of different meal occasions, from appetizers and entrees to desserts," said Flay. 

FAGE Total strained Greek yogurt is a yogurt like no other.  Made from an authentic family recipe that dates back to 1926 and using 100% natural ingredients, it contains no added sweeteners, thickeners or preservatives and no powdered milk, powdered cream or powdered protein.  In fact, approximately four pounds of raw milk are needed to make just one pound of FAGE Total Greek Yogurt.  It's part of what makes each thick, creamy bite plain extraordinary.

"I want people to understand that every meal becomes more extraordinary when you're using FAGE Total," said Flay. "It's an ingredient that adds a ton of taste and texture, and I simply can't live without in the kitchen."
