Virginia Culinary Thymes

View our newsletter at The Virginia Culinary Thymes. We will update the page as each new issue appears. In the meantime, we will also add interesting links from time to time, so please visit often.


Our newsletter appears officially two times a year, in November and May. That said, sometimes we just can't help ourselves-culinary history is so fascinating-and we publish special issues too.

We are always looking for new ideas and topics for our newsletter. If you have an idea or would be interested in writing an article, please let us know. Email the Editor: Cynthia D. Bertelsen. See our writer's guidelines for more information on how to format your final submission; we will be using the style recommended by the American Psychological Association.
