Cooking & Gardening with Herbs

Herbs enhance a recipe far beyond what a sprinkling of salt and pepper can do. They add flavor, color, and give recipes their cultural identity. We have some great suggestions! Wanna learn some creative new ways to use herbs?

This fun, online cooking demo is brought to you by AARP NH and Chef Liz Barbour of The Creative Feast. ​During this free webinar and cooking demo on April 27 at 1 pm, Liz will share with you the edible landscape she has created to surround her circa 1744 New Hampshire village home. 

Join her for a slideshow tour through her edible gardens and see how she has introduced a variety of herbs to blend beautifully and deliciously into the landscape. Following the slides, Liz will welcome you into her studio kitchen to demonstrate two delicious recipes featuring herbal combinations that you will love.
