Your thoughts/What's coming

Celebrating Diversity

The story about the different foods that different cultures celebrate with at this time of year happened to be something my child is learning about in school; the teacher was very happy to see it. Thanks for a great magazine that's easy to read and very informative.

Cookbook Creations

My mother was an exceptional cook and I have all her tried-and-true recipes. I was inspired by the article "A Recipe for Mem- ories" with the notion of putting my mom's recipes into a more organized format.
Bill Jenkins, Edmonton

Being a grandmother, I think it would be a great idea to create our own family cookbook. Both the men and the women in our family come up with some great creations. Believe it or not, my 11-year-old grandson Noah is a whiz in the kitchen. Your article "A Recipe for Memories" just might be the inspiration we need. Thanks.

Cover to Cover

I enjoy reading the entire magazine; to say one article is better than another just [couldn't] happen; it's an excellent, balanced little magazine and the fact that it is free makes it even more special!

Finding Favourites

[I loved] the quirky questions page about cows eating garlic and the good quality, healthy recipes. Please continue providing information about the people supplying and growing food in Alberta.
