Revised and completely updated, this new edition of the much-loved Traveller's Guide to Historic British Columbia takes travellers, armchair and actual, on a road trip through the province's history. This classic handbook follows main roads and back roads to historic sites, heritage experiences and the narratives of the past. The stories of First Nations, ethnic minorities, and incoming settlers weave a rich tapestry that underlies the region's present. Included in this new edition are First Nations experiences, displays and museums that limn indigenous heritage; details of changing museums and revamped and newly designated heritage sites; and notes of sites and buildings that sadly have slipped away. The author blends quirky tales with evidence of landscape change, tragic timelines with soaring successes, accounts of relatively recent big-city historic buildings with the signs and tales of thousands of years ago. Not a history of British Columbia, but an introduction to the ever-changing ways of experiencing that history in all its variations, this book will live in glove compartments, and on bookshelves as curious travellers happily discover the country of the past.

Are gardeners really crazed workaholics? Are weeds really plants whose virtues simply haven't been found yet? Is the new rage for "wild plants" merely old indolence hiding behind the shrubbery of political correctness? These are just a few of the topics horticultural humorist Des Kennedy tackles in "Crazy About Gardening." In a series of thought-provoking and rib-tickling essays, Kennedy lovingly probes the foibles and follies of North America's favorite pastime. His writing sparkles with satirical wit and, like all good satire, has a higher purpose. An accomplished green thumb and award-winning writer, Kennedy describes his experiences in terms that shape a gateway into the hilarious, lovely, and ultimately profound world of gardens and gardening.

Though Cyprus is a small country, its cuisine features a large variety of dishes due to the many different cultural influences affecting the island's history. There is also a substantial variation in climate around the country... from sunny beaches to snow-capped mountains. Cyprus cuisine has a Mediterranean allure, mixing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors and ingredients. Many Cypriot families still make home-made olive oil every year, and neighbors regularly exchange excess bounty of homegrown fruits and vegetables, including pomelo, grapes, carobs, figs, oranges, lemons, cantaloupe, bergamot, medlars, almonds, kumquats, cactus pears, and, of course, olives. Most Cypriot dishes are not particularly hot or spicy, though there is ample use of local herbs such as wild oregano, rosemary, mint, parsley, basil, cinnamon and coriander. Spices such as allspice, cloves, mastic and mahleb powders can be found in many sweets and baked goods. The book features 68 recipes, featuring all of these Cypriot culinary delights... and more. Illustrated in full color, Cyprus Cuisine offers a wide variety of Cypriot dishes, ranging from drinks to desserts, to soups, salads, small bites, breads and pastries, pickles, dips and main courses.

This iconic cookbook was a project of the Mount Sinai Chapter of B'nai Brith Women of Canada, as it was then known. 50 years ago the members got together with a project in mind: sharing traditional recipes with simple and explicit instructions that everyone can enjoy. The thought then was that it would only take a couple of months to complete and a simple cookbook would be produced that would be suitable for young brides. The "simple" project took three and a half years to complete. It was an instant success and quickly became the "go to" gift for showers and weddings, eventually for young adults moving into their first apartments and finally for anyone and everyone setting up a kitchen. The cookbook has not only become a collector's item and is desirable for its great recipes and historic value as well as for its sentimental value, but has gone down to be thought of as one of the best Jewish cookbooks ever.
