Exciting news!
I just received some very exciting news.
History: I always listen to CBC radio. During one of their morning shows I heard a request for family recipes from around the world. Sadly, there are not that many of us Icelandic-Canadians and so I knew I needed to represent. My Mom was a very talented baker/cook. She had left me her recipe for Vinaterta. I included a word or two on how important it was to our family. I mailed my submission. And promptly forgot all about it.
Until...on March 24, 2005 I received a letter from CBC radio. The formal letter ended with a post script: "We know you live on Mayne Island - but we love your recipe & would be honoured to include it in this cookbook!' I was blown away. CBC would be 'honoured' to include my Mom's recipe? ...a cookbook? I had been introduced to CBC radio by my parents. Mom would have been thrilled that they liked her recipe. The proceeds from the cookbook were to go to the Save the Children Canada fund. This too would have delighted Mom.
However, then CBC went through some problems. I thought surely the project would be lost. But today ...today I received this:
"Flavours of Vancouver:
Dishes from Around the World
is now in bookstores, and your recipe is in it!
Please join us for our very special launch, at the Sutton Place Hotel in Vancouver on Thursday, Dec 8th in the morning.
