by Andrew Morrison | I just saw that The Sobo Cookbook cracked Globe & Mail food writer Chris Nuttall-Smith’s list of the 20 best cookbooks of 2014, which is awesome news. The book has been out for over half a year now and it’s been great to see it getting so much recognition from coast to coast.
Michelle Sproule and I had the great fortune to work on the project with the good folks at Appetite (a division of Random House), photographer Jeremy Koreski, and Lisa and Artie Ahier of Tofino’s Sobo (two of our best friends on the planet). It took a long time to wrangle (a few years), and saw so many back and forth trips to The Island for brainstorming sessions and amazing photoshoot escapes – to places as remote and magical as Wick Island – that it really became more of an adventure than a job.
While we’re glad and proud to see the book doing so well, it’s nevertheless a little sad that the experience of making it is has ended. At least we have Michelle’s photos, which I’ve included below…

Looks great! If you don’t mind me asking, what sort of lens are you using on that Canon SLR? God the environs look fantastic too, that cookbook really sells the West Coast. Hope to get out there soon, been too long…
