“When I am despondent, I dream of Paris.
When I am content, I dream of being in Paris, in love.” – Barbara-jo
McIntosh
A single woman of ‘a certain age’, author
Barbara-jo McIntosh invites the reader to join her in realizing a
long-time dream of spending one month in Paris – living as a true
Parisienne.
Barbara-jo opens her heart – and
appetite, to all the city has to offer. She takes us along as she
explores her little neighbourhood – a pocket of Paris offering a
treasure trove of bistros, shops, markets and culinary haunts. She takes
us to her favourite cafés and restaurants where we share in her
delight, and the occasional letdowns. Then she whisks us home to her
flat where she recreates her own variations of ‘tous les jours
spéciaux’. As Barbara-jo shares her table with old friends and new, she
rediscovers that cooking can be both celebration and solace.
The dishes Barbara-jo shares with us in Cooking
for Me and Sometimes You are based on her own philosophy of
‘elegant sufficiency’. All are simple recipes prepared with little fuss
and readily available ingredients.

A Boy After the Sea
*Winner of the 2010 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards Best in the World in the Fish and Seafood Category*
An enticing collection of recipes from our oceans, rivers and lakes finds form in a stunning coffee table book. Featuring recipes crafted by internationally renown chefs from fourteen different countries including Alain Roux, Alice Waters, Rick Stein and Vancouver’s own David Hawksworth, with a poignant forward by Heston Blumenthal, A Boy After the Sea is a worthy addition to any food lover’s library.
Appealing to cooks of every level, the book features stunning photography, detailed recipes and a fascinating look into the problems affecting our fishing world. Inspiring and insightful, the practice of sustainable fishing is highlighted and suggestions are made on sourcing seafood, which has been raised in safe and respectful ways.
Created by British chef and entrepreneur Kevin Snook, A Boy After the Sea is an inspiring tribute to his son Dan Snook, a young man who was passionate about both fishing and cooking. All proceeds of the book will be donated to the Dan Snook Trust Foundation charity, committed to helping young people from all walks of life overcome hurdles and offer guidance when they lose their way.
