Cooking in COVID!


With many of us staying close to home these days I think we’ve all felt a little more creative and have found ourselves experimenting with new recipes, household projects, or in my case, a lot more online shopping! Follow the wonderful Betsy along in her kitchen as she tests one of our delicious recipes from Dining with the Dames!

Stop in the Fig Tree Gift Shop and pick up a copy of the cookbook or order online through our virtual shop. And, to help keep those online shopping expenses down, use coupon code DINING at checkout to receive a 20% off discount!
