FortWhyte Alive

The Volunteer Cookbook is what’s new!

Berries, Bannock, Bison and More should be in all kitchens with its collection of over 200 favourite recipes from both Volunteers and Staff.  It is available for $9.95 Member Price and $12.95 Non-member Price from the FortWhyte Alive Nature Shop in the Alloway Reception Centre.

This project was driven by a Cookbook Committee consisting of Bev Stacey, Joy Derhak, Verna Hare, Evelyn Wray, Anita Gobeil, Connie Newman and Eileen Didora. Verna Hare was the one who planted the seed that germinated and grew with the assistance of all the members of the committee.  Each played a key role in organizing, submitting and proofing the broad collection of simple and nutritious recipes guaranteed to appeal to today’s busy households.  Special mention goes to Bev Stacey, a seasoned Chef, who spent hours reviewing recipes for omissions or errors.  She adjusted recipe directions to make them user-friendly for all levels of cooks.  It was Joy Derhak’s leadership and initiative that kept the ten-month project on track.  And finally, the fun of designing our custom look was a group effort with great results!

In the end, we must thank the 53 recipe contributors, including our own Buffalo Stone Cafe Chef, Peter Karamchand, who divulges some of his trade secrets.
