Want a culinary keepsake? Barbara-Jo’s Books to Cooks is a Vancouver epicurean institution, complete with a kitchen for delectable demonstrations of recipes by local and international authors. Make bread with artisan baker Chris Brown, author of Flour Water Salt Yeast (Mar. 13), or sample recipes from Buttermilk: A Savour the South Cookbook (Mar. 17) with chef Glenys Morgan. We already love reading menus and recipes, but this is a step above.—Jill Von Sprecken
