Mennonite Market

Basia took me to the Mennonite market on the road to Wingham.

We found squash, gourds, corn, Indian corn and other root fall crops there.

I will be testing recipes and generally having fun in the kitchen in the next few days leading up to our Thanksgiving.

Meantime, I urge you to get out and find the variety of squash you love.

This is either Heart 'O Gold or Sweet Dumbling, if you know the Latin name for this squash, please let me know. Names aside, try it. I'm sure you will love it.

Pat will be discussing her new book, Tagine with Phil.

Some of the early responses to my new book, 150 Best Tagine Recipes are great. You can see my Pomegranate Molasses recipe at What's Cooking in Your World.

What about you? Do you own a tagine? Do you like the flavours of North Africa?

Pat's Preserving Book

Coming Soon...

Preserving by Pat Crocker

You have to see this book to believe it! My newest book (HarperCollins, Publisher) is all about how to preserve fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Following the seasons, Preserving has information on varieties and gives hands-on tips for beginners and long-time preservers.

But what is so special about this book is that it shows you what you can do with the incredible chutneys, jams, jellies and conserves you will want to make.

...Look for this incredible, 527-page, full-colour book in stores mid-August.
