I was so pleased to  be able to donate an herb cooking class luncheon benefiting the Luke and Rachel Batten Foundation recently.   This  rare childhood disease for which there is currently no cure,  is extremely brutal and robs children of a full life span.  The foundation raises money for research and awareness to give these children and their families a ray of hope during their battle.  Thanks go out to that special group of Chappell Hill women who purchased the cooking class luncheon and came to the B&B for the special event!

We started off the class with pitchers of Raspberry Mint Mojitos and  fresh orange & lemon scented ice cold water  (another hot 100 degree Texas day was upon  us!).  Their class included a herb cooking demonstration, luncheon and enthusiastic conversation about using herbs and tips on storage, preparation, combining and growing  .

THEIR MENU

  • Raspberry Mint Mojitos
  • Fresh Corn Soup with Thyme, Basil, and Proscuitto
  • Minted Mascarpone Sorbet
