A Taste of Haida Gwaii
Food Gathering and Feasting at the Edge of the World
a cookbook by Susan Musgrave
Susan Musgrave is a poet and a writer but she is also the proprietor of the beautiful bed and breakfast, Copper Beech House one the remote archipelago of Haida Gwaii.
More than collecting recipes, Musgrave follows the seasons with guides to gathering local ingredients for recipes that reflect Canada's wild West Coast. This book offers a unique take on food that could only be developed living on the remote islands.
A Taste of Haida Gwaii is filled with recipes and stories accumulated over the years at the Copper Beech House, told with Musgraves humour and incisive wit. In this cookbook, you can find such delicious recipes as Rose Spit Halibut with Wild Rose Petals or (Almost) Flourless Chocolate Torte with Thimbleberry Elderflower Liqueur Coulis.

“There is much to learn from the book, and not just about cooking.” — BC STUDIES
