Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme will take center stage during a cooking program next weekend at the St. Joseph Public Library.

St. Joseph Herb Gardener’s Club member Julie Schmitt will hold the Cooking with Herbs program at the Downtown Library located at 927 Felix St. Saturday, April 25 at 10:30 a.m.

She plans to talk about both growing and cooking with herbs and will give tips on creating your own kitchen garden. Schmitt will also demonstrate how to make a pesto and a salsa as well as give suggestions on what herbs compliment various dishes.

No registration is necessary.

The program will run about an hour.  The library plans to have its collection of books on cooking and herb growing on hand for checkout.

Please call the Downtown Library at 232-7729 with any questions.
