About this Class
Thyme for Tasty Herbal Recipes: We will use many of our garden’s culinary herbs and others in this class with a wide range of recipes, from appetizers to dessert. Other than the few common herbs that most people know, like cinnamon, nutmeg, basil, oregano, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (which many know from a song, but not by taste), how many more do you know and do you know how to use them? What about lemon grass, savory, lemon thyme, tarragon, marjoram? All very flavorful, but not as well known. Increase your comfort level with these and other herbs and take home some new recipes. Ban Bland!
