Atlantic
Highlands resident and award-winning garden designer Leeann Lavin is passionate
about food and about gardening, so it's no surprise that she has her own
kitchen garden.
On
Wednesday, April 17 at 7:30 pm, she will share her insights on kitchen gardening at the shore, and on
cooking with locally grown herbs, fruits and vegetables.
Leeann's
talk opens the Atlantic Highlands Historical Society's 2013 Speaker Series.
This year's talks will be at the Strauss Mansion, 27 Prospect Circle in
Atlantic Highlands. All talks are free and open to the public, and refreshments
are served.
Leeann
is the author of "The Hamptons and Long Island Homegrown Cookbook," a
beautifully illustrated collection of recipes and stories from popular chefs
who create seasonal, market-driven menus inspired by locally farmed, fished and
artisanally-crafted ingredients.
She is also the author of two gardening
blogs.
"Master
Chefs and their Gardens" is the story of the making of her cookbook, and
offers regular reviews and commentary on art and food events, cookbook reviews,
greenmarkets and growers and more.
"Garden
Glamour" talks about gardening best practices, gardens and garden stories,
sustainability, book reviews, home improvement and DIY, and horticulture or
garden events.
Leeann
writes a food and drink column for Examiner.com,
http://tiny.cc/g0bchw
has worked in restaurants and catering, and cooks
with passion, creating recipes using locally grown ingredients.
With experience
at both the New York Botanical Garden and Brooklyn Botanical Garden, she is now
a garden specialist and principal of Duchess Designs LLC, where she designs
artful, sustainable gardens that tell stories and are beguiling in every
season.
Leeann
Lavin will sign copies of "The Hamptons and Long Island Homegrown
Cookbook" following her talk on April 17. She will donate a portion
of the proceeds from the sale of cookbooks to with the Atlantic Highlands
Historical Society.
