A SAMPLE COOKING SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Upon arrival, guests are served Peach Tea and muffins and get a wagon tour of the Longhorns and Gardens. They then arrive at the Cooking School where our chefs are preparing the fare of the day. We encourage our guests to participate! Each one receives a Cooking School Bag with recipe book and miscellaneous gifts from the Ranch. After the Cooking School, the guests stroll over to the Lazy Lily River House for a Texas Wine Tasting and lunch. Followed by a Herb Lecture and demonstration and of course, lots of shopping is available at our Lily Boutique for jewelry, quilts, cookbooks and other niceties.

Marjie is a Master Gardener, Master Naturalist and a member of the Audubon Society, and the American Herb Society. She is also the past president of the San Antonio Herb Society and a Docent Aide at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. Her landscape at her own house is certified as a wildscape and wildlife habitat.
