Foods of Love

“Thank you so much for your cooking demo and talk at the Belmont library. It was my first such class and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt like I came away with a lot of good tips and ideas and it was so much fun!”  – Julie H

 

Belmont Library commissioned Foods of Love for Valentine’s Day. What are the foods of love, you ask?

We made three dishes and talked about using different foods for decoration. Guess what the veggies are below…
