Pairing Herbs, Food, and Wine with Chesapeake Bay Herb Society

Spencer Garrett and Denis Gasper will discuss pairing herbs with food and wine at the society’s Nov. 20 meeting. Both are past presidents of the society, and both love to cook. They will share their accumulated knowledge (and maybe some samples) that night.

The society usually meets the second Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at Christ Church, 111 S. Harrison Street, Easton. However, this month’s meeting has been moved up because the building will be used during the Waterfowl Festival. Meetings include an herbal potluck dinner, a short business meeting, and a presentation on an herb-related topic. The theme for the November meeting is herbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina (paprika, bay leaf, parsley, dill, and cumin).

CBHS was formed in 2002 to share knowledge of herbs with the local community. The group maintains the herb garden at Pickering Creek Audubon Center. For more information, call 301-452-2813 or visit the society’s Facebook page.
