Homemade: Recipes and Stories from Winnipeg and Beyond

In 2022, we published a community cookbook, entitled Homemade: Recipes and Stories from Winnipeg and Beyond, to mark the newspaper’s 150th anniversary and its long history of culinary journalism. An E-version of the cookbook can be purchased here.

Join our Homemade Facebook group for home cooking discussions, recipe swapping and event announcements.
