Georgia Pecan Commission Partners with Georgia Chef Scott Peacock
Chef Scott Peacock, executive chef of Watershed restaurant in Decatur, Ga., has partnered with the Georgia Pecan Commission to promote the importance of a nutritious, energy-packed breakfast. Peacock is a southern food expert whose vision of Southern cuisine emphasizes fresh, seasonal and regionally grown ingredients, including Georgia pecans.
"I love the fresh, rich, wholesome flavor of pecans from Georgia," says Chef Peacock. "It's familiar and comforting to incorporate the distinctive, crunchy texture of Georgia pecans into homemade meals -- especially breakfast."
Peacock has created two pecan-inspired breakfast recipes: Georgia Pecan
Muesli and Georgia Pecan Breakfast Spread. In addition to Peacock's
recipes, a new breakfast brochure and other recipes are available on the
Georgia Pecan Commission's Web site, GeorgiaPecansFit.org. The recipe for
Georgia Pecan Muesli was inspired by Peacock's signature brunch menu
