Bryn Mooth was thrilled to discover a cookbook that suits our bustling lifestyles so well. Cooking in Real Life is an apropos title with easy-to-follow recipes for every day meals. It’s no wonder we love its contents, as the author trained under Ina Garten for seven years before she began to “fly” on her own, as Garten’s foreword explains. Byrn will demonstrate as you enjoy these four delicious courses: Shaved Carrot Salad with Creamy Sesame-Ginger Dressing, Salmon with Honey & Chili Crunch, Cider-Glazed Sausages with Caramelized Apples and Fennel, and a seasonal dessert—Maine Pumpkin Buckle. This menu will be paired with wine.
