Contributors include David Forestell, Victoria Adams, Michael Allemeier and Geoff Last as well as a host of others.

Each recipe is designed to make it easy for even a novice cook to tackle. Gail Norton opened a cookbook store with her mother—The Cookbook Co. They soon expanded into specialty foods and catering and have become Calgary"s premier cooking school. Gail is also a contributor to two bestselling cookbooks, Dishing: Calgary Women Cook and Double Dishing: The Dishing Women Entertain . Diane Thuna is a freelance author and a fan of delicious food.
