Full Bloom Nursery Free Seminar
Saturday June 5th, at 2 pm.
Growing, Harvesting, & Cooking with Herbs
Instructor: Dr. Bill Thomas aka "Doc Bill"
Doc Bill is an incredibly talented cook and an authority on growing &
preparing edible plants. He has written several cookbooks including:
Northeast Georgia Cuisine- A Gourmet Food Guide to the Southern Appalachian Mountains
Cherokee Cooking- From the Mountains & Gardens to the Table
The Foods of Georgia's Barrier Islands- A Gourmet Food Guide of Native American, Geechee and European Influences on the Golden Isles
Excerpt from Northeast Georgia Cuisine:
"I wrote this cookbook because I love great food, good conversation, travel, and most of all I love to create. This book represents various recipes from the Northeast
region of Georgia, and a way of life and cuisine. All of the recipes in this book contain
a primary ingredient that is native to this area. All one has to do is use what is locally available and fresh in local markets."
Doc Bill, who is a pathologist at NE Ga Medical Center, frequently stops in
to purchase fruit trees, vegetables, etc. We always look forward to his visit because we get to "pick his brain" on tips and techniques in regard to
growing produce, herbs, fruits, berries, etc.
This free seminar is an excellent opportunity for you to do the same. Doc Bill will be focusing on herbs and their use in recipes and will be cooking samples of meats and vegetables flavored with fresh herbs on a grill. Feel free to ask him anything that relates to growing a vegetable garden, fruit orchard, and anything else edible.
We hope to see you at the seminar and ask that you email us (hit the "contact us" link a the top of the page) if you are planning on coming so that we make sure we have enough food for everyone to sample.
