mmm...Manitoba Book Launch

Please join Janis Thiessen and Kimberley Moore for the launch of their new mouth-watering book mmm...Manitoba! Stop by the Manitoba Museum, in the Urban Gallery, April 17th at 7:00pm for a celebration of Manitoba delicacies, with catering by Diversity Foods and a cash bar. 

In 2018, Janis Thiessen, Kimberley Moore, and collaborator Kent Davies refashioned a used food truck into a mobile oral history lab. Together they embarked on a journey around Manitoba, gathering stories about the province’s food and the people who make, sell, and eat it. Along the way, they visited restaurant owners, beer brewers, grocers, farmers, scholars, and chefs in their kitchens and businesses, online, and on board the food truck. The team conducted nearly seventy interviews and indulged in a bounty of prairie delicacies, from Winnipeg’s “Fat Boys” to Steinbach’s perogies to Churchill’s cloudberry jam.

Thiessen and Moore serve up the results of this research in mmm... Manitoba. Mixing recipes, maps, archival records, biographies, and full-colour photographs with fascinating stories, they showcase the province’s diverse food histories.
