My Canadian Picks, Menu for Hope 6, North of the Border with Seven Spoons

For the 6th year in a row, as Christmas and the end of the year festivities approach, food and wine bloggers around the world join in an effort to raise funds and awareness for the UN World Food Programme with Menu for Hope 6 (December 14-25).

Hosted by one of the fastest eaters I have never met, Seven Spoons, the Canadian section of Menu for Hope 6 will surprise you.

I was awed by Herriott Grace Handcrafted Mortar and Pestle (CA 04)

Not least because "this mortar and pestle set from Herriott Grace, made especially for Menu for Hope, will most surely become a treasured heirloom. Each piece is hand-turned from a single piece of maple wood, without joints or glue."

Second, I chose Grazing, a cookbook courtesy of Dinner with Julie (CA 05)

It's not about cattle ranchers

In her opus, Julie Van Rosendaal offers 'portable snacks and finger food for anytime, anywhere' and a low fat world.

Third and last in my opinionated choices is A Taste of British Columbia (CA 12)
