GOLDEN GATE PROVIDES NEW WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT SUCCESSFULLY
Summer is almost here and warmer weather also means more time spent outdoors. However, it’s difficult to cover up those extra pounds with heavy, bulky clothing to hide the damage of winter’s hibernation. Many of my readers are always looking for the perfect diet to lose weight. They’re also concerned with finding a healthy way to accomplish their goal.

PANACHE IS PACKED WITH PAN-TASTIC RECIPES!
When I first moved from Montreal to Toronto in 1997, I was fortunate enough to meet Shawna Goodman-Sone, a well-known cooking teacher and chef. She became my link to the local culinary community, helping me connect to the food mavens of Toronto – a mélange of cooking teachers, cookbook authors, caterers and food stylists who all shared my passion for food.
We still stayed in touch when Shawna moved from Toronto to Philadelphia. She later moved to Montreal and initiated a cookbook fundraising project for the Jewish General Hospital. Over 100 volunteers from Montreal’s Jewish community gathered, submitted and tested recipes for Panache, which took two years to create.
Summertime is just around the corner and although I enjoy entertaining friends and family, I don’t enjoy spending time in the kitchen when the weather is warm and sunny. I’m always on the lookout for simple solutions to entertaining, so I was delighted to discover the award-winning cookbook: Margaret’s Table – Easy Cooking & Inspiring Entertaining, by Margaret Dickenson of Ottawa.
SHARON SCHACK’S BON VIVANT
Sharon Schack is originally from South Africa and now lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Sharon writes “All my family now lives in Sydney, Australia. Bon Vivant is a favorite dessert in Australia, and I make it every Passover because it has no flour. It can be made either dairy or pareve, and isn’t difficult at all. It’s also a good “make-ahead” dessert, as it needs to sit in the freezer for a while to make cutting easier. The recipe comes from Secrets From Our Kitchens, a cookbook published by Moriah College in Sydney. I’ve given you both metric and Imperial measurements as I’m comfortable with either one. Enjoy!”
