WHITEWATER COOKS
The unheralded popularity of “Whitewater Cooks”, since its release in the fall of 2005, has caused a rash of strange activity in this Kootenay Shangri-la. The Nelson City Police have been called out on several occasions to break up disputes at potluck dinners, over whose favourite dish “Whiskey Smoked Salmon Chowder” really is, or who has brought the best “Summit Salad with Roasted Sunflower Vinaigrette”. School principles have had to break up playground skirmishes over whose mom makes the best “Whitewater Granola Bars”, or whose dad makes the best “Runaway Train Wrap”.
“In hyper-outdoorsy, half-conscious Nelson, set picturesquely between furred peaks and Kootenay Lake and where it seems that everyone of the 10,000 residents skis, mountain-bikes and is passionate about health and good food, Whitewater Cooks has become the equivalent of the Junior League cookbook,”

“Shelley Adams easy, unpretentious, high-pleasure recipes honed at the Fresh Tracks Cafe are enticing fans across the continent.””
