Susan Musgrave
In addition to winning lifetime achievement awards as a writer and poet, since 2010 Susan Musgrave has been the proprietor of Copper Beech House, a beautiful bed and breakfast that has for decades played host to authors and prime ministers, artists and adventurers who visit the remote archipelago of Haida Gwaii. In her first cookbook, the famous poet uses her humour and incisive wit to bring cooking and living on the former Queen Charlotte Islands to life with stories gathered over decades. With its evocative tales and wild cuisine, this book offers a unique take on food that could only be developed living off the coast of British Columbia. More than collecting recipes, Musgrave follows the seasons with guides to gathering the freshest local ingredients for recipes that reflect Canada's wild West Coast. This book is a recommended read for fans of food, good humour and the Pacific Northwest. Why not include A Taste of Haida Gwaii in your next meal with one of these recipes: Hands-Free Cloudberry Jam Spruce Tip Mayonnaise Mussels Trudeau Rose Spit Halibut with Wild Rose Petals (Almost) Flourless Chocolate Torte with Thimbleberry Elderflower Liqueur Coulis
