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.

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.
