GIFT GUIDE For our gift suggestions this year, we’re staying as local as possible to support Canadian companies, so we scoured our province and country to find gifts for your food and drinkloving family and friends. We’re delighted to present 19 of our favourites here. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

COOKING WITH KIDS
Finding tasty, nutritious meals that also let kids get involved in the kitchen can be really tough. Cooking with Kids went straight to the source and asked foodies and local folks for their recipes that are tried and tested, kidfriendly, and sure to help spark a love of cooking in the wee ones. And 100% of the proceeds go to children’s and youth initiatives in the community! $25 online at cpyfstore.ca.
