Tomorrow morning (Saturday, 8/15) at 10 am I will be having a cooking demo at the Serenbe Farmers market!

Come join the fun and shop around for beautiful art work, planters, fresh herbs and of course a wonderful selection of home grown veggies from Serenbe farms as well as other local farmers.
After shopping at the market, don’t forget to stop by the Blue eyed Daisy bakeshop for breakfast.
Tomorrow’s demo will be “all things eggplant”! So many people always tell me they don’t know what to do with eggplant or are afraid to cook it. Come see me and learn how to make three different dishes including my mom’s famous eggplant souffle. 
Stop by for a sample taste! I look forward to saying hello to you tomorrow.

“Whether in the restaurants at Serenbe or in our home, we enjoy watching people’s reactions as they taste locally-grown, freshly-harvested food. If you’ve never had an egg that was gathered that same morning, or a turnip or tomato that was picked yesterday, tasting it for the first time is like coming home.”

The weekly-changing, a la carte menu is rich with Southern delicacies straight from my recipe box, prepared in a style that highlights the flavor and nutrients of 

farm-fresh produce.  

Reservations are recommended at the Farmhouse which serves dinner Thursday-Saturday evening and a fried chicken brunch every Sunday. Come by early and enjoy a mint julep on the veranda during our two for one happy hour from 4-6:00 pm at the newly opened Farmhouse bar.

They then enjoyed a morning cooking lesson with Marie Nygren in her own personal kitchen.

Cooking is not just about following a recipe, it’s about adding love to your food.

According to Marie,
“It is important to touch the food in order to pass your love into it”.

The love and passion for her cooking is evident in all she creates and shared with these 5 guests visiting Serenbe for the first time. In addition to giving helpful cooking tips, i.e. always cook with kosher salt as it holds in the flavors or using my favorite cast iron cookware, the true magic came with Marie weaving in her passion for Serenbe. Look around you and it  is easy to see why Serenbe is so magical but hearing it and seeing it together is a beautiful bonus!

To experience this wonderful opportunity you can contact Serenebe for more information.
