With all the snow we had here in Toronto over the weekend it’s definitely looking and feeling like the holiday season.  

Just in time to help you with your holiday shopping, The Edmonton Sun (December 5) has released its top gifts that will get people into the Christmas spirit. Included is Dorothy Duncan’s Canadians at Table: Food, Fellowship, and Folklore: A Culinary History of Canada that’s sure to help “those feeling just a tad overwhelmed by the whole experience of throwing their first Christmas.” Canadians at Table won gold at this year’s Canadian Culinary Book Awards.
