“You don’t need a silver fork to eat good food.”
Paul Prudhomme
A good dip is a true crowd pleaser. They are deliciously filling and the perfect way to start any meal, and you don’t even need a fork. Although if you use a knife to spread our dip on crackers, we won’t hold it against you.
We’ve been making this dip for many years from Linda’s own recipe. Linda is our Master Gardener and Head Chef at Eden Hill (and a Co-Owner) and she loves to cook…and serve…good food. Make some Gouda Pecan Dip and grab some friends and family to share it with. No forks needed.

“Please, no more Bruschetta. I’ll be too full for dinner.”
Said no one, ever, in history
Besides being able to trip over things that don’t exist, my other talent is to eat my body weight in Bruschetta. It has all four of the major food groups: Joy, Happiness, Love, and Toasted French Bread.
Linda Hornbaker, Co-Owner, Master Gardener, and Head Chef of Eden Hill, believes in a good dinner party. And the best parties start with this humble yet mesmerizing Italian appetizer. When Linda hauls out the French baguettes, goat cheese and capers, you know it’s going to be a really good dinner party.
It is my honor to present to you the best Bruschetta this side of the Tiber river. Linda’s Bruschetta. It has a name. And that name is “welcome to dinner”.

“The best meals are the ones made by those who love you”
Linda Hornbaker, Master Gardener and Head Chef for Eden Hill
Farming is more than just manual labor. It takes everything you’ve got. Mind, body and several new pairs of boots a year. While growing wine grapes has its romantic moments, the day is mostly filled with banged up knees, torn hands, a burning sun that won’t set, and that nest of fire ants that jumped in for a ride.
Every now and then, when our farmer, Clark, has had an especially tough day, he craves the opposite for dinner. Something delicate, flavorful, and tender. You can call it “TLC in a bowl” if you will.
Linda, Eden Hill’s Head Chef and Master Gardener, knew just what Clark needed. She created her Salmon Pasta recipe from scratch, aiming for a filling yet tender meal. She got it right the first time.
The next time you’ve had a hard day’s work, we recommend Linda’s Salmon Pasta. It never hurts to try a little tenderness.
2 pounds skinless salmon filets
