A delightful book that’s out now is The Boreal Gourmet: Adventures in Northern Cooking. It’s a really great recipe book, as well as a bit of a memoir about living and eating in the North. Michele Genest is the author and she joins me from her home in the Yukon to talk about life up north and northern cuisine. The Boreal Gourmet is published by Lost Moose, an imprint of Harbour Publishing. Michele Genest will be in Vancouver this Thursday, 03 June 2010 at 6.00pm. They’ll be serving up food from the book at Barbara-Jo’s Books to Cooks, and with the price of admission you’ll get a signed copy of the book. Go to http://www.bookstocooks.com for more information. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Michele Genest; Good morning, Ms. Genest.
