Appetizers prepared on the spot and a gourmet dinner will highlight “A Taste of the South,” a fundraiser for the Friends of the Randolph Public Library, 7-10 p.m. Friday, October 14 at Pinewood Country Club.
The menu will feature recipes from The New Southern Garden Cookbook: Recipes for Enjoying the Best from Homegrown Gardens, Farmers' Markets, Roadside Stands and CSA Farm Boxes by Sheri Castle, who will talk about her book and, in a demonstration for attendees, prepare appetizers that will be served before the meal.
Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased at the Asheboro Public Library Circulation Desk. All proceeds go to support Friends activities and programs.
Castle is a food writer and cooking instructor based in Chapel Hill. Her recipes and essays have appeared over many years in magazines including Southern Living and Better Homes and Gardens.
She teaches classes at markets including Whole Foods and A Southern Season, as well as private classes, and assists with recipe testing and development.
The New Southern Garden Cookbook focuses on the pleasures of fresh, local, seasonal food. It offers over 300 recipes for delicious, healthy, home-cooked meals made possible by the diverse array of fruits and vegetables grown in the South, and most of the rest of the nation as well. It was named a notable cookbook by The New York Times, and an editor’s pick by Southern Living.
