Two Chefs in the Garden by Lynn Crawford and Lora Kirk features more than 150 flavourful, everyday vegetarian recipes celebrating the ease and versatility of cooking with vegetables while offering something satisfying for everyone at the table. (@chef_lynn @chef_lora @penguincanada)⁠
⁠
The perfect recipe for this weekend's Thanksgiving table is their Sweet Potato Pie with Maple Meringue, passed down to Lora by her grandmother. “Fluffy and smooth, with plenty of sweet potato flavour, and topped off with snowy maple meringue peaks, this beautiful pie is the best,” share the authors.⁠

For years, Chef Anna Olson has been synonymous with baking, but in Anna Cooks, she invites readers to explore her savoury side through a collection of approachable dishes for every meal of the day. (@chefannaolson @appetite_randomhouse)⁠
⁠
One such recipe is her Autumn Roasted Chicken with Stuffing recipe, a weeknight-friendly roasted chicken that delivers all the comforting aromas and flavours of autumn in half the usual cooking time. "During the week, by splitting the chicken in half and laying it on top of a loose stuffing-like layer," explains Anna, "you can have all the aromas and flavours of autumn in half the cooking time." ⁠

Tahini Baby by Eden Grinshpan is a joyful celebration of veg-forward, Middle Eastern– and Mediterranean-inspired cooking, filled with fresh flavours and vibrant recipes designed to liven up any table. (@edeneats )⁠
⁠
A standout from the book are these Rosemary-Honey Halloumi Fries. Coated in bread crumbs and fried until golden, the Halloumi holds its shape beautifully while rosemary and a finishing drizzle of honey bring a fragrant, salty-sweet twist.⁠ “These are pretty much your gooey, salty, fatty, crispy, crunchy DIY mozzarella sticks, except we’re using Halloumi,” shares Eden.⁠

Did you hear? Bob Blumer will be co-hosting the 20 Did you hear? Bob Blumer will be co-hosting the 2026 Taste Canada Awards Soirée along with Ali Hassan! (@bobblumer)⁠
⁠
"I’m really looking forward to being in a room filled with many of my peers and cookbook authors from across the country whose work I admire," shares Bob. "On a personal level, the evening has special significance. In 2021, in the midst of the pandemic, my book was awarded the Taste Canada Gold Award for General Cookbook. For me, it felt like the culmination of a 30-year evolution from quirky, self-taught interloper to bona fide cookbook author. Because the awards were held remotely that year, I didn’t have the opportunity to experience the celebration in person. So to finally be there in the room—and to be co-hosting—feels particularly poignant."⁠
⁠
The 2026 Taste Canada Awards Soirée will be held on Sunday, October 25, 2026 at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto and we want YOU to join in on the celebration. ⁠

Le saviez-vous ? Bob Blumer animera aux côtés d’Ali Hassan la Soirée des Lauréats Saveurs du Canada 2026 !⁠
⁠
« J’ai vraiment hâte de me retrouver dans une salle remplie de nombreux collègues et d’auteurs de livres de cuisine de partout au pays dont j’admire le travail », confie Bob. « Sur le plan personnel, cette soirée revêt une importance particulière. En 2021, en pleine pandémie, mon livre a remporté le prix d’or Saveurs du Canada dans la catégorie cuisine générale. Pour moi, cela a été l’aboutissement d’une évolution de 30 ans, qui m’a mené du statut d’intrus excentrique et autodidacte à celui d’auteur de livres de cuisine à part entière. Comme la cérémonie de remise des prix s’est déroulée à distance cette année-là, je n’ai pas eu l’occasion d’assister à la célébration en personne. Le fait d’être enfin présent dans la salle — et d’être l’un des animateurs — revêt donc une importance toute particulière. »⁠
⁠
La Soirée des Lauréats Saveurs du Canada 2026 aura lieu le dimanche 25 octobre 2026 au Fairmont Royal York de Toronto, et nous vous invitons à participer à cette célébration. ⁠
