John Michael Lerma's Garden County: Where Everyone is Welcome to Sit at the Table

by John Lerma

Overview

Celebrating occasions with friends and family is one of the best joys in life. But not everyone celebrates the same occasions, and not everyone has the same type of "family." John Michael Lerma invites you and yours to sit at the Garden County table, where everyone is welcome to share fresh vegetables, dips, drinks, cakes, salads, and more at your special event: Academy Awards Night, GLBT Pride Celebration, commitment ceremony, or a regular weekday night. Here you will find ways to make everyone feel welcome and to fill them with the good cheer of great cooking.
