The FBC 2016 Holiday Cookbook Gift Guide & Giveaway

This year there was a bumper crop of Canadian cookbooks published - and twenty of them were by Food Bloggers of Canada members.  Twenty!  That's the most we've ever had in a year (and it's soon to be 21 with Joy McCarthy's new book coming out after Christmas).  So when we put together our annual Cookbook Gift Guide, there was no shortage of homegrown talent to showcase.  From FBC Members to well loved Canadian chefs, restaurants and food writers - there is something for everyone on your list - including you.  And the best part of all is, you're supporting Canadian authors! Happy shopping and gifting! (PS... there's details on how you can enter to win more cookbooks at the bottom of the article!)
