Easter takes place in spring, and many Easter traditions, such as eggs, represent an ancient symbol of new life. From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs symbolize Jesus's rising from the tomb and resurrection. We are deeply rooted in Eastern traditions. Spring, like Easter, has prompted us to reflect on what is being reborn in our kitchens. To begin, we've set our tables with foods that embody renewal, rooted in the love and perseverance that brought us to where we are. These foods symbolize the promise of hope for the future.

International Day of Pink – April 10, 2024 | Picture by nslabour.ca

Food and kitchens are synonymous with diversity. It's about celebrating in diverse ways. On the second Wednesday of April each year, we commemorate International Day of Pink. International Day of Pink was created in 2007 when a teenager was the victim of homophobic bullying at a Nova Scotia high school for wearing a pink t-shirt. Students rallied to wear pink in solidarity. The International Day of Pink campaign has continued to grow. It is now an international anti-bullying campaign that thrives in schools, workplaces, and communities.

Food for Thought

Do you doubt that a country's approach to food and the food industry reflects its character and identity? This book has shown you how nations, societies, and even entire eras can be understood through their food.

Alton Brown's Food for Thought illustrates this idea with humour and insight, making complex food issues both accessible and entertaining. Reading his essays is like sharing an unforgettable meal with your most insightful and thought-provoking friend. He transports you to the Saturday mornings of your teenage years, when a bowl of cereal and Cartoon Network were your closest companions. He taps into the nostalgia of your grandmother's English muffins, the ones you tried (and failed) to recreate. And if you're already engaged with food politics, Brown's sharp analyses of cultural appropriation, colonization, and food porn will make you think twice about what's on your plate. It even offers a refreshing and honest recipe for getting back in shape, without sacrificing who you are.
