I taught a class on cooking with herbs at the kitchen store in our little town.

The food I demonstrated --

Salad plate --

pasta salad 3 ways (one plain, one dill and one fennel)

strawberries with a rosemary/tarragon syrup

broccoli cauliflower salad with a pesto mayonnaise dressing

Corn Madelines with sage

For dessert -- cherry cheesecakes (those ones from the 80's with the vanilla wafer in the bottom) but with lavender added to the cheesecake batter, topped with cherries and a candied lavender flower for decoration.

It all looks good!

I made those bite-size cheesecakes years ago too. I found a graham cereal that fit perfectly in the bottom of the mini pans. I was disappointed when they stopped making that cereal.

Oh, these are regular muffin size -- not teeny -- the mini comes from being smaller than a regular cheesecake.

Everything looks so tasty! I'm a big fan of herbs myself. Spearmint, Chives, Parsley, Basil. They are so easy to grow down here, they last year around outside.

Very pretty, I bet they're all delicious too!
