The Butcher, the Baker, the Wine & Cheese Maker in the Okanagan

In 2012, Jennifer Schell brought together 160 of the Okanagan Valley's best chefs, wine makers, and food producers to create The Butcher, the Baker, the Wine and Cheese Maker: An Okanagan Cookbook. It was an instant success, selling more than 7000 copies and winning national and global awards.

Updated to reflect the constant evolution of food production and culture in the famed valley, this second edition includes profiles of the newest players in the area's culinary scene, new recipes and food and wine pairings, and updated profiles of the region's renowned and respected farmers, producers, artisans and agricultural innovators.

In addition to delicious recipes for every meal, such as Quinoa Crusted Falafel Mignon, Sezmu Beef Tartare, Okanagan Lavender Mascarpone Souffle, and Saskatoon Berry Pie, this collection features the stories of the area's experts, and a listing of the area's foodie festivals and events.
