Promotion: James Farmer Book Signing and Cocktail Reception at DISCOVER ADAC

    As a kick off to DISCOVER ADAC, The Atlanta Decorative Arts Center’s annual week of lifestyle and interior events, Atlanta magazine and JANUS et Cie hosted a book signing and cocktail reception highlighting James Farmer on Monday, October 6.  Native of Kathleen, Georgia, James Farmer is the author of the Wall Street Journal best-selling book, A Time To Plant (2011) Sip & Savor (2012), Porch Living (2012), Wreaths For All Seasons (2012), A Time to Cook (2013), and Dinner on the Grounds (2014), published by Gibbs-Smith Publishers. Farmer’s love of Southern food and cooking have put him at the forefront of the garden-to-table lifestyle. James was taught as a young boy how to pull vegetables, herbs and flowers from the family farm and kitchen garden to provide much of the food, decor and flavor of his family’s everyday life. He developed an early appreciation for fresh, seasonal foods cooking at the side of his grandmother, whose Southern heirloom recipes he has revitalized for contemporary tastes.
