Now is the Thyme to Eat!

            The Southside Master Gardener Association has recently published “Thyme to Eat!”, a cookbook with over 450 delicious recipes.  Cost for the cookbook is $14 and can be purchased from active Master Gardeners.
            Something that you might not realize is that Master Gardeners love to cook as much as they love to garden.  “Thyme to Eat” is chock full of riveting recipes like Gnudi, Pan y Mas, Beouf Bourguignon and even a Squash Bug Trap – well, we are Master Gardeners!  There are also traditional favorites such as Sweet Potato Casserole and Pecan Pie.  This is the second cookbook the Master Gardeners have compiled, with the other being published ten years ago.  Lots of new Master Gardeners have joined the group since the first creation and friends were invited to contribute, so the cookbook is full of fresh ideas. 
Thyme to Eat! is the new Southside Master Gardener Cookbook, which is now for sale.  It is loaded with lots of delicious recipes. Get your copy today.


            “Thyme to Eat!” was created to support Master Gardener outreach
programs such as public garden education, the children’s garden at the Southern Virginia Botanical Garden and Farmers Market programs, as well as scholarships for local 4H campers.  The cookbook will be available at both the Halifax and South Boston Farmers Market.  You can also contact Kathy Parker at 434-476-6696 to pick up cookbooks at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 197 Mountain Road, Halifax.
