Did YOU Know? ......
Ina Garten donated her famous recipe book, 'Barefoot Contessa Parties' to our event in 2010! Thank YOU INA !!!
that herbs paired with certain foods make a unique an distinctive flavor impact!! Using herbs, such as, Mint, Oregano, Rosemary, Basil and Parsley to name a few will turn ordinary foods into super dishes! For instance, add a blast of mint to garnish fruits, salads, desserts and minute rice. Oregano with its dainty leaves will add a rich, spicy kick to tomato sauces and Greek dishes. Try Rosemary to add a woodsy flavor and aroma to meat and potato dishes. Basil leaves, add sweet, peppery flavor to Italian dishes from pasta to pesto and Parsley is a very versatile herb which adds a fresh taste to any dish and provides a colorful garnish.
