Readers will enjoy over 70 recipes from the café’s selection of top sellers — from warming soups to desserts — indulging in culinary favorites.

Together Again

“Early on in my association with the Whitewater Cooks series, a buyer for a large national retail chain commented to me that she felt the Whitewater series was a “western phenomenon.” Five cookbooks later, this phenomenon has captured the passion of home cooks across Canada and in the U.S. With over 250,000 copies sold, Shelley Adams has consistently inspired home cooks with her impressive and easy to make recipes. At a time when we all want to be together again, Shelley’s new cookbook will be an essential and elegant culinary cornerstone in that journey.”
