Shanna Johnson, CEO of Sweetfields, Inc. adds, “The SweetCrystal Viola has been a flagship product of ours because it is a smaller sized flower with ample opportunity for garnishment and it is a cost effective way to dress up any creation. In 2007, it received the sofiTM Silver at the Fancy Food Show in the Outstanding Foodservice Product category. We look forward to offering this delectable treat to the chefs and guests at such an exquisite event.”
Proceeds of the book signing will raise money for “Action Against Hunger,” an international network committed to saving the lives of malnourished children and their families while ensuring access to safe water and sustainable solutions to hunger.
