Chef of the Month: John Toulze

John has cooked for many events including the James Beard House, Sonoma Valley Wine Auction, March of Dimes, Star Chefs, Hospice du Rhone, Rhone Rangers, Napa Valley Wine Auction, Winemaker Dinners throughout Sonoma & Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley Film Festival and the Sonoma County Showcase. In addition, John teaches cooking classes at Ramekins Culinary School in Sonoma. John lives in Sonoma with his wife and three year old daughter.

MexcianShrimpCouncil.orgWhat’s the story behind the Mexican Shrimp seal?

Whenever you see the Mexican Shrimp seal, it guarantees the shrimp has been certified as an authentic Mexican product and has met the highest quality standards. Mexican shrimp is subject to rigorous quality control processes that go way beyond HACCP standards. The shrimp that make it, passed our intense inspections, are packed by hand and kept in carefully monitored temperatures. Random inspections are also made just before the shrimp departs.

Mexican shrimp meets and exceeds the standards set by quality assurance departments of its importers and the U.S. FDA.
