In June 1965 Gateway Publishing Co. Ltd. was founded by William DesJarlais in Winnipeg. The very first cookbook the company printed was titled Favorite Recipes from Rivers 1965 and it was done for St. James鈥 Anglican Church afternoon branch of the women鈥檚 auxiliary.
This year, 2015, mark鈥檚 Gateway鈥檚 50th anniversary in business. To commemorate the event, Gateway came back to Rivers and offered the members of St. James鈥 a chance to reprint the 1965 cookbook, with additional recipes from current contributors, as a 鈥渢hen and now鈥 project, free of charge, as a fundraiser for the church. The cookbooks are here and we are very grateful to Gateway for the excellent opportunity and a very impressive cookbook.
Books sell for $10 and can be ordered by calling me, Lois Allen, at 204-728-9801 or talking to any member of St. James鈥 Anglican Church. It is a wonderful remembrance of the original contributors, as well as a diverse collection of new recipes from near and far.
