A Thyme To Cook

A Thyme to Cook is a dedicated team of culinary and design creatives serving couples throughout Connecticut and beyond. Founded by Linda Sample in 1984 and currently led by Michael Ferreira, the company has built its reputation over 35+ years on creativity, culinary design, and personalized service.
