DISNEY COOKBOOK

LINDEN, N.J. -- For any shopper who has ever wondered what kind of cake Mickey Mouse favors, Colavita USA here and Disney Publishing Worldwide, New York, have a book to answer that question and many others. The two companies have teamed up to release a new recipe book entitled, "Disney Recipes: From Animation to Inspiration." The included recipes are inspired by the ones Disney characters prepare or taste in their movies. As the sponsor of "Disney Recipes," Colavita gets exclusive rights to use Disney characters in marketing and merchandising programs for its line of products, which includes olive oil and pasta. The brand will use tag lines such as, "Add a Little Magic to Every Meal with Disney and Colavita." Currently, Colavita is offering a free recipe booklet called "Cook with Passion" featuring recipes from the cookbook. Colavita will also sponsor special events, cross-merchandising initiatives, on-pack recipes advertising the book, and point-of-purchase displays for supermarkets and specialty food stores.
