It's a "Buy" cookbook according to both Anna & Krisina of the Grocery Bag Show on the OWN channel!

If you want to know why the Whitewater Cooks cookbook series by Shelley Adams has been so successful, you have to believe in the power of word-of-mouth. For every home cook who has entertained using recipes from either Whitewater Cooks or Whitewater Cooks at Home - there’s a table full of guests so impressed with the meal, that each will immediately head off to their nearest retailer to purchase their own copies of these amazing books. The proof is literally "in the pudding"...

Whitewater Cooks with FRIENDS adds a new dimension to Shelley’s awesome recipes: it’s more fun, more casual with a dollop of easy, but impressive recipes that people will LOVE. Here are some of the recipes featured on the OWN television show:

• gazpacho with dungeness crab and avacado salsa (p. 50) 

• Pacific sashimi towers (p.18) 

• Susi's jewelled salad  (p.80)

• Michelle's chicken charmoula  (p. 88)

• Gussy's ribs  (p. 91)

• Rolled pavlova with fresh fruit  (p. 28)  (and yes, the crust will crack when you roll it...)

Whitewater Cooks with Friends was featured on Anna & Kristina's Grocery Bag show on November 20th...it was also a shortlisted cookbook title in the 2012 Taste Canada Awards, nominated as one of the top three Canadian cookbooks in the General Cookbooks category. Definitely a must-have cookbook!
