Clinton CiB Reprinting Cookbook
The Clinton Communities in Bloom Committee is going to publish an expanded version of the “Gateway to Good Cooking” cookbook. This cookbook, full of favourite family recipes from Clintonites, was published two years ago as a fundraiser and is now sold almost out.
Many visitors to Clinton bought copies, as did many Clinton residents. The CiB Cookbook Committee is now looking for more recipes to add to the expanded version. Deadline for submissions is March 15.
To include more of your recipes, call Yvette May at 250-459-7725, or email them to ymay@live.ca, or drop them off at the Country Squire Gift Shop, 1600 Cariboo Hwy. The Committee will try to include as many of these ‘new’ recipes as they can.
