When I was asked to list my top books for this season I was at a loss. Working at Raincoast for all these years the seasons seem to mesh together so I thought to let you in on some books that mirror who I am and what I'm about...
My Last Supper by Melanie Dunea. It's a truly awesome coffee table book filled with not only beautiful photographs of some 50 top chefs but includes their recipes as well. Truly, it's a gem. When I blogged about this book this season I had let readers know what my last supper would be.
"I'd like to eat steak, good steak. Ones we bought from the market. Baked potatoes with all .jpg)
the fixings and a yummy beet salad. And chicken wings from grain fed chicken too (hot of course)." You can see by the pic this is exactly what I love to eat when we're camping in the Okanagan so if I would have to choose this would be my 'last supper' as well.
I was lucky enough to attend quite a few hockey games this past year. We were able to go to the Western Conference 
finals where the Canucks beat ou
t the Sharks. We had a blast. When Portable Press decided to update their Uncle Johns Shoots and Scores, with 70 all new pages I might add, I was quick to take a flip. I'm a bit of a poser when it comes to the game so by reading up I can hang with the boys and show off with som fun hockey facts and stats. 
When the sun is shining and 
I'm in need of getting fresh air what better way to get out and about than riding around town. In my house we love to ride so Cyclepedia made my list. A book for any bike enthusiast.
If you know me, I'm a bit of a cat person. So this is why Meow made it on my list. This book's full of pictures of these adorable creatures with cute ca
ptions. Easy. Oh this is Dash -
What Would Be Your Last Meal on Earth?

Food & Drink / October 06, 2011
Melanie Dunea has done it again. In her first acclaimed book, My Last Supper (2007) she asked the world's top chefs 'what would you eat for your last meal on earth?' Now she just released My Last Supper: The Next Course where she upped the questions for 50 notable foodies. Thought provoking questions as well. I'm going to take a moment to answer them.
What Would Be Your Last Meal on Earth? You'll get the idea of why I chose this meal after you see the setting of this meal. I'd like to eat steak, good steak. Ones we bought from the market. Baked potatoes with all the fixings and a yummy beet salad. And chicken wings from grain fed chicken too (hot of course).
What would be the setting for the meal? I'd like it on a mountain top eating on a picnic table looking over Salmon Arm. Beautiful white and pink hydrangeas fill simple glass vases. Blue and white gingham table cloth and eating off my melomine camping dishes. It's dusk and there are lanterns in the trees to give off a soft glow. A campfire burns about 10 feet away and there are coolers filled with selections of ice cold beer.
Would there be music? Absolutely! Dave Mathews would serenade. Oh and maybe I'll have the Kings of Leon open cause I just saw them and they pretty much rocked.
Who Would be your dining partners? My mother and my boyfriend Garfield (yep just like the cat) and well whoever wanted to come, cause it would be a party.
Who would prepare the meal? Gordon Ramsay. I like that he swears a lot, is funny, and can cook. I hope he likes camping!
