This series showcases the best cookbook chefs and authors in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and the world.

The North by Northwest Cooking Clubs are taped at Barbara-Jo’s Books to Cooks shop at 1740 West 2nd Avenue in Vancouver (604-688-6755).

You’re invited to drop by during our tapings to watch and ask questions! To find out who the next star of the Cooking Club is listen to North by Northwest on CBC Radio One (690 AM in Vancouver) Saturday and Sunday mornings from 6 to 9 a.m., or keep checking this site for updates on authors, taping dates, and broadcast dates. Once an author has been broadcast on North by Northwest, we’ll also archive that interview on this site, so if you miss it on CBC Radio, check back here!

Also on this site, we feature the recipe that each author demonstrates during their interview, so you can create your own Cooking Club recipe collection.

Plus, we’d love to hear about your all-time favourite cookbook. New, old, in-print, out-of-print, star chef or family collection – tell us why you love the cookbook and you could win a copy of CBC Radio’s new cookbook Flavours of Vancouver: Dishes from Around the World!
