Caterer/Chef/Author at Kiwanis February 8, 2025

Chef Alison Milwe Grace is a lifelong Connecticut resident and AMG Catering and Events owner. In addition to teaching adults in her Wilton catering kitchen, she is the culinary arts teacher at Staples High School in Westport. Alison has received a James Beard Scholarship, has appeared on the Food Network’s “Kitchen Casino” and “Supermarket Stakeout”, and her recipes have appeared in numerous publications. She says she is her “best self” in the kitchen and that she “loves through food.” 

With 30 years of food industry experience under her toque, Alison decided it was time to add “cookbook author” to her career accomplishments.“ So many of my adult cooking school clients have asked, ‘Why don’t you have a cookbook?’” she recalls. “These words have stuck with me for over a decade, and I have been trying to carve out the time.” One day in the fall of 2023, Alison woke up and realized as a person who always does what she says she is going to do, “it was time to get this cookbook started!”

“Savor” is a carefully curated collection of Alison’s favorite recipes, themed classes, and menus for enthusiastic home cooks to create festive gatherings for friends and family and will be on sale at the meeting.

Alison lives in Weston with her (very patient) husband, Bob Grace, three children, Conner, Kellan, and Hadley, and their two rescue dogs. Savor is her first cookbook.

Meetings are open to all, drop-ins are welcome, and your first breakfast, normally $10 for a full breakfast or $5 for a continental,  is on us.

The Kiwanis Club of Weston meets weekly from September through June on Saturday mornings at Norfield Congregational Church parish hall, 64 Norfield Road Weston, Connecticut.
