Gratitude is key to all of this." -- Louise Hay

This comprehensive but accessible handbook is for the average coffee lover who wants to make better coffee at home. Unlike other coffee books, this one focuses exclusively on coffee-not espresso-and explores multiple pour-over, immersion, and cold-brew techniques on 10 different devices.

Thanks to a small but growing number of dedicated farmers, importers, roasters, and baristas, coffee quality is at an all-time high. But for nonprofessionals, achieving cafe quality at home can seem out of reach. With dozens of equipment options, conflicting information on how to use that equipment, and an industry language that, at times, doesnt seem made for the rest of us, it can be difficult to know where to begin.

Craft Coffee: A Manual, written by a coffee enthusiast for coffee enthusiasts, is a comprehensive guide to improving your brew at home. The book provides all the information readers need to discover what they like in a cup of specialty coffee-and how to replicate the perfect cup day after day. From the science of extraction and brewing techniques to choosing equipment and deciphering coffee bags, Craft Coffee focuses on the issues-cost, time, taste, and accessibility-that home coffee brewers negotiate and shows that no matter where you are in your coffee journey, you can make a great cup at home.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 TASTE CANADA AWARD - REGIONAL//CULTURAL COOKBOOKS

A collection of more than 70 signature recipes from the Okanagan Valley's best chefs, restaurants, cafés, bakeries and wineries.

The Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson Valleys in British Columbia are known to produce some of the most outstanding wines in the world. But the region is also emerging as an exciting culinary scene. Inspired by the Interior's organic farming and sustainable agriculture, the region's chefs are quietly bringing world-class techniques to the table, taking the golden beets, tomatillos, wild mushrooms, haskap berries and everything that grows so abundantly in every micro-season and transforming it into the kind of meals that would tickle a food critic's palate.

Okanagan Eats is a deep dive into this dynamic food region where locality is the name of the game. From a summer heirloom gazpacho to wine-braised short ribs, an orchard salad to a decadent brownie trifle, there is something delicious to suit every taste. While the recipes are chef-driven, they are intended for home cooks and designed to be uncomplicated and fuss-free.

Each recipe includes a suggested drink pairing, reflecting the spirit of collaboration championed by the community. Baked Brie with Haskap-Jalapeño Jam pairs beautifully with Fitzpatrick Family Vineyard's Fitz Crémant sparkling wine. Duck and Waffles for Sunday brunch is made more decadent accompanied by Hillside Winery's Syrah. And for the Big Ole Yorkie Bowl, Crannog Ales's Back Hand of God Stout is the only way to go.

Okanagan Eats aims to bring the culinary traditions of this flourishing scene to greater prominence - where food is fresh and delicious, and wine is bountiful.
