We enter December on a high. Twyla Campbell and I are delighted with the sales of her first book, Maps, Markets and Matzo Ball Soup: the inspiring life of ChefGail Hall. With over 1000 copies available in the marketplace at bookstores, retail stores and on-line, the book made the Edmonton best seller list for three weeks. Without the support of a big-budget promotional program this is a real achievement.
Many people have eagerly read the book and several book clubs have taken it on as their discussion choice. The comments are all positive with even guys admitting that they had tears as they read it. It is an inspiring look at a life well-lived.
Our hope is that in January every friend, client or follower of ChefGail has two copies of the book: one that they bought themselves and a second copy they received from a thoughtful friend. If you have ten or more friends who should receive this book for Christmas you can get a discount by buying them through the website www.Q32.ca. Orders will be delivered locally in a prompt manner. Requests from further afield will be mailed.
And cooks on your gift list will appreciate the accompanying recipe book. It contains all the recipes in the book (plus two extra) and is printed with a coil binding so it lays flat for use in the kitchen. Not available in stores you can order the recipe book at the on-line link.
