When we say farm to table, we mean it. Farm to Table pairs 25 alumnus chefs from the Stratford Chefs School with 25 of their favourite food producers and farmers for a culinary adventure through Perth-Huron County. The Stratford Chefs School has a long history of training impeccable chefs - 35 years of history, in fact. Inside, you'll find recipes from head chefs at all of your favourite Stratford restaurants, designed specifically for this cookbook. This book is complete with photos by famed food photographer Terry Manzo, and alumni profiles from Andrew Coppolino, Publisher of Waterloo Region Eats and CBC Food Columnist. This compilation of recipes from some of the most celebrated graduates of the Stratford Chefs School takes you inside the lessons they learned at Stratford Chefs School and makes this book a staple of every Canadian kitchen.

Andrew Coppolino's passion lies in promoting the amazing cooks, restaurateurs, farmers and producers in Waterloo Region and Wellington and Perth counties. If he had to, Andrew would eat pizza for the rest of his life. Luckily, he has more than one option as the food columnist with the Kitchener Post and CBC Radio Kitchener-Waterloo 89.1 FM. He holds a Master's degree in English literature from the University of Waterloo and has taught at UW, the universities of Guelph, Toronto and Toledo, Conestoga College, and at the Stratford Chefs School. Coppolino was restaurant reviewer and columnist with the Waterloo Region Record and Grand and Taste magazines and is co-author of Cooking with Shakespeare (Greenwood Press). Coppolino doesn't just like food, he loves it. Perhaps that's why he has published in Whisky Magazine (UK), Toronto Golf, Avenue Calgary, Restaurants Canada, Restaurant Report (US), Culinary Trends (US), Foodservice and Hospitality and Hotelier magazine and Canadian Gaming Business. When he's not taking the culinary world by storm, you can find Andrew volunteering as a coach with the Kitchener Soccer Club.
