British chef, writer, activist and teacher Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is widely known and respected for his dedication to creating beautiful dishes comprised of seasonal, ethically produced food and raising a general awareness of where our food comes from. One of several impressive River Cottage books, The River Cottage Cookbook is as much a fantastic collection of gorgeous, simple, rustic dishes as it is an inspirational treatise on how one chef grows, gathers, and cooks his own food. Join Barbara Lynch Gruppo’s Stir chefs for an enlightening evening full of discussion, cooking and eating. The price is $145, and the program will repeat on Tuesday, March 9 and Wednesday, March 10. For information, or to register, log on to www.stirboston.com, or call 617-423-STIR.

Saturday, October 17, 10:00 am – Eden’s Gems: A Walk in the Village Orchard
Garden Thyme programs are held on the third Saturday of each month and are FREE for members of Old Sturbridge Village. Led by Village horticultural and agricultural staff, these programs and workshops are held at various sites and deal with a variety of plant-related themes and topics. Participants gather at the Visitor Center at 10 a.m. each month and are led to the appropriate site or setting. On October 17, enjoy Eden’s Gems: A Walk in the Village Orchard, with Christie Higginbottom. Did you ever wonder why 1800s cooks and cider makers had over 800 apple varieties to choose from and we only have a dozen or so? Meet the Village’s historic fruits — the Mothers, the Spitzenburgs, the Russets, the Baldwins and the Sheepsnose apples. Learn about seedlings, scions and rootstocks. Find out how the art and skill of propagating these trees keeps our apple heritage alive. For more information, and directions, log on to www.osv.org.
