Lesley Kendall, a registered dietitian at Schneck Medical Center, Seymour, prepares a recipe during the annual cooking show at the 2016 Jackson County Fair. An overhead mirror allows the audience to see the dish she is working on.

This year’s program had a “Farm to Table” theme, featuring recipes utilizing fresh vegetables and fruits, meats, honey, eggs, and other ingredients from area farmers’ markets. Dietitian Jill Whitaker and intern Keya Sartin also participated in the program.
