A local speciality in Wakefield...the Québecoise-- filled with berries and laden with butter.

HAVE A GLASS OF WINE AND SIGN A BOOK!



Seems to me to be a very civilized way of signing my books .... a glass of crisp wine and a bin of oysters being shucked by John Bil.  Bon Appetit Books is at 388 Victoria in tony Westmount and people here love to eat, talk about food and read.  The store, operated by the young team of  Michelle York-Cheung and Jonathan Cheung, seems much more like a well-loved library and reminded me of New York's famous Kitchen Arts and Letters but without the attitude.  At Bon Appetit authors and chefs cook and share their knowledge in a great demonstration space.  It was such fun!  Off to Calgary!!!
