The Clark Gardens Blog

The Fall season brings with it an anticipation of warm kitchens filled with family and friends. For my family it's all about the food. The next three weekends, Clark Gardens is offering cooking classes sure to please the most discriminating foodies.

Sandra Lewis is returning to the gardens this Saturday, October 29th. Her class will showcase a non-traditional fall menu featuring butternut squash soup, pork roast with apples and dates, wild rice dressing and (yummy!) last but not least whiskey bread pudding with cranberries and caramel sauce. Sandra Lewis, a native of the Dallas area, blogs passionately about food, family, and friends. In Sandra's blog, Life at the Table, she shares her perspective on the simple, interwined pleasures of food and relationships. The class is from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and is set in one of Clark Garden's private residences. This is a perfect outing for a you to treat your "better half" or bring along a couple of girlfriends and enjoy good food, good fun and a beautiful day at Clark Gardens. Call Beverly at 940.682.4856 or register on line here.

And back by popular demand is Mary Otto.  Mary brings her Amish roots to the garden on November 12 as she teaches us to make homemade bread including honey wheat bread, mashed potato dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls. Registration is open and information can be found here.
