Jeff is happily retired and lives in Red Deer, Alberta. He loves nothing more than having his family gather for a great home cooked meal. “The goodness of family tradition can be found in a variety of places. The internet is the most readily available for relatives and family to share. I was impressed to see my mother’s tattered cookbook, bulging at the seams, full of her most treasured recipes. Rummage through her mother’s utensils and find out what is most used (besides her famed wooden spoon for bad behaviour). Keep it simple and keep in practice are the keys. My retirement has not been a rush to extravagant dining or cooking. It has allowed me to focus on key cultures and a few dishes that hopefully will be passed along to everyone.”
