Meanwhile one of the big hits for seasonal sales was the decidedly retro Cooking with Mona (Whitecap $24.95), a nostalgic re-issue of the original Woodward's cookbook recipes from Mona Brun. A food consultant for Woodward's Food Floors for 28 years, Brun promoted B.C. food products and hosted cooking shows, from the PNE and the Abbotsford's Agrifair, and also on TV (Culinary Capers, Creative Cooking). The original Cooking with Mona cookbook appeared in 1977. Mona rocks. 1-55285-449-3
