Zest for Life (Cooking Series)

By Diane Clement

Book Overview

Chef, restaurateur, bestselling cookbook author, and vivacious bonne vivante, Diane Clement has lived a life immersed in the culinary culture of Canada's West Coast. But she hasn't been confined to the kitchen. Along with her husband, Doug Clement, a noted authority on sports medicine and an enthusiastic dining companion, she has travelled the world, sampling the fare each country has to offer and meeting fascinating people from all walks of life. In this combination cookbook and memoir, she looks back on five decades of favourite recipes and fond, food-related memories and presents them all with infectious exuberance. Each of the more than 150 recipes reflects its era, from inspired variations on tried-and-true standards such as meatloaf and tuna casserole from the fifties, through the fusion dishes of the nineties. A sampling of recipes from other food authorities such as John Bishop and Bonnie Stern completes this sparkling retrospective of mouthwatering delights from one of western Canada's best-loved food authorities.
