As the weather turns cooler, kids head back to school, and eating habits and routines change, Zest!, with two locations in Lititz, can help ease the transition into fall. Seasonal flavors, like Spiced Apple Shrub from Tait Farms, and gadgets, such as apple-peeler machines and Emile Henry pie dishes from France, are featured in the store, and informative and fun fall classes are held at the cooking school. 

“Fall is right around the corner, and we are looking forward to soups, slow-cooker meals, roasted meats and veggies and everything pumpkin,” enthuses owner Sharon Landis. “Upcoming classes include German Octoberfest; Fast Fall Soups, Taste of Fall––Apples & Pears; and Turkey Talk––Make Ahead Thanksgiving Dinner. At the store, we are gearing up for fall with everything from gravy boats to soup mixes.”
