Editorial Reviews
FEAST Manitoba author, Christine Hanlon, has issued an invitation to partake of a feast. This book is a great read for those who enjoy history, good food, and getting to know the great folk that call Manitoba and Canada home.
Teresa-Lee Cooke, poet and author of <i>A Union of People and Song: A Tribute to Einar Nordstrom</i>
FASCINATING This fascinating book is packed with historical and culinary insights into the foodways of early Manitoba, brought to life in vivid and warm-hearted prose—a deliciously well-collated feast of real people and real recipes.
James Chatto, award-winning food writer and author of <i>A Kitchen in Corfu</i> and <i>The Man Who Ate Toronto, Memoirs of a Restaurant Lover</i>
A GIFT Hanlon shares stories and recipes that set me to drooling—and remembering my own grandmothers, a Hutterite and a Scot, and their differing approaches to baking. That remembrance is the finest gift a cookbook can give us.
