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 is a poet and author of A Union of People and Song: A Tribute to Einar Nordstrom. 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.
