HBC – Inspired to Taste Canada

The Taste Canada are coming and that means we get to celebrate the best in the best in Canadian Food writing. It’s an exciting year for it, being Canada 150 after all.

I love cookbooks and food writing, as you may have notice. You may also remember that I have judged the Taste Canada Cooks the Books culinary competitions in the past, so there is a special place in my heart for these awards.
