About the Book:

Who knew there were Gordon Ramsay and Anthony Bourdain types in Winnipeg?
Chefs are only as crazy as their most memorable kitchen stories, and Hollywood isn't the only place you'll find them. Local restaurants are home to chefs with big personalities and fascinating, colourful careers. But you'll rarely glimpse this talented bunch when dining out.
The Last Crumb is a compilation of stories and recipes from chefs in Winnipeg kitchens. An entertaining read that will give diners a glimpse into the restaurant industry - a tasty bite of storytelling that has kick and will leave you hungry for more.

About the author:

I love food, dining out, cooking and baking, writing and photography. So this book seemed like a great idea. And it was. The people I met made the entire project worthwhile. These chefs have incredible stories, fascinating personalities and were more welcoming and accommodating than I could have ever hoped for.
They sat down with me after long services to have candid, personal interviews; they let me into their kitchens where I got in the way of staff and interrupted work to snap a few pictures; and they even gave me their most cherished recipes - a few even had to ask mom or grandma's permission to pass along the secret.
This city's diverse and forever-evolving culinary scene is really one of its best assets. But it's not all faceless, generic restaurants with bland, machine-made food. It's about time we spotlighted and acknowledged the geniuses in the kitchen.
