Edible City Books Are on the Press

The excitement is growing! The Edible City – Toronto's Food from Farm to Fork is actually rolling off the presses at Coach House books. Here, co-editor Christina Palassio holds up a copy of the cover, printed but not yet bound. Below, some of the pages are already done!

The book launches on November 15 at the Gladstone. Since I'm scheduled to be one of the participants in a panel on the day, I was at the Coach House earlier today to meet with some of the other panelists, including Steven Biggs, Sasha Chapman, Lorraine Johnson and Joshna Maharaj.

We discussed how we're going to engage with ideas both about the need to support exquisite local organic and artisanal food, and the need to make sure everybody gets ample delicious and nourishing food, no matter what their age or income. I think those two things are compatible.

If you're intrigued, come to the launch. If not, come for the cookie-decorating. I'll see you there!
