Flavourful Saskatoon, December 4, 2017


Christmas Evening Market, Dec. 14 
Enjoy drinks and treats at the Saskatoon Farmer’s Market Christmas Evening Market from 4-8 pm, Dec. 14.

Christmas Stollen
The Night Oven Bakery has Christmas Stollen. Raisins, almonds, and candied citrus are soaked in rum and mixed into a rich sourdough, which is then wrapped around house-made marzipan. After being baked, it’s soaked in rum butter and dusted with icing sugar. Place an order for pickups on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday from now until Christmas.

Books 
From War Zones to Comfort Food 
The Guardian newspaper has published their list of the best food books of 2017. It’s an interesting collection: from a comfort food diary to women’s stories and recipes from Syria.

Hunger, Migrant Workers, and Roundup 
Civil Eats provides a much more sober list of recommended books covering farming, migrant workers, hunger, foraging, antibiotics and herbicides.

School Kids and Fast Food
Communities in Great Britain have started banning fast food outlets close to schools. What do you think? Would you support a similar policy in Canada?

Flavourful Saskatoon is a weekly Monday feature. I also post articles about food that is good, clean and fair; travel; and books. You may also enjoy EcoFriendly Sask profiling Saskatchewan environmental initiatives and events. 

You can follow Wanderlust and Words on Facebook, Twitter, or by email (top right corner).
