Chef's Tastes at Stone Soup

Stone Soup Books in Waynesboro is always up to something fun!  On August 20 (Tuesday) at 6:30 PM, they will feature some tasting samples, prepared by their Chef Laura, of recipes from the book "The New Southern Garden Cookbook."  Ten bucks will reserve you a tasting spot, and I, for sure, will want to be on hand, both for this one and for the tasting in September (Tuesday, the 27th) for the session on King Arthur Flour's Whole Grain Baking.  I've been making bread from a sourdough starter for over 20 years, and prefer King Arthur flour, so I'm already a believer, but always interested to learn something new.

UNC Press says, of "The New Southern Garden Cookbook:"  "Sheri Castle aims to make "what's in season" the answer to "what's for dinner?" This timely cookbook, with dishes for omnivores and vegetarians alike, celebrates and promotes delicious, healthful homemade meals centered on the diverse array of seasonal fruits and vegetables grown in the South, and in most of the rest of the nation as well."
