This week I decided to slightly adjust the format of this very ezine. You will find that I have split it into sections - all of the sections are geared towards providing you the information you must have and the culinary news you definitely must know about.
I am 100% convinced that you will benefit immensely from the newly crafted layout.
Please don't hesitate to email me if you have a link that you would like to see included in forthcoming ezine editions.

Banff chef chooses caribou over hot dogs Ralf Wollmann knows a thing or two about dining standards. By age 11 he was already critiquing his mother's cooking, and he began working in her restaurant in his hometown of Wurzburg, Germany soon after. Even as a teenager he understood the importance of hospitality when it comes to preparing a meal. This passion for satisfying his guests' every need has remained paramount, leading to his restaurant, Eden (situated in the Rimrock Resort Hotel in Banff), being awarded with the AAA/CAA's Five Diamond rating, its highest honour, for the ninth year in a row.
