OUT NOW – Sarah Lapointe with Valley Foods Favourite Recipes, a new cookbook to aid cancer research.
Sales of cookbook to raise money for cancer research By Trevor Bacque Pioneer Staff Sarah Lapointe has concocted a new creation that isn’t half-baked – a cookbook she is selling to help raise money for cancer research. “I do love to cook, so it was a natural match for me,” said the mother of two. Sarah is married to Eric Lapointe, a manager at AG Valley Foods in Invermere. Ms. Lapointe filled the book with recipe after recipe, including a number of family favourites. “I used family (recipes) to sort of pad it a bit,” she said with a laugh and joked that she had to hold back the really good ones. After pestering staff at AG Valley Foods for recipes, she quickly realized she was being flooded with submissions, but made sure to include every single one, even finding a place for the odds-and-ends such as making play-doh and a recipe on “how to preserve a husband.” The cover art was done by Will McKenzie of Pixel Planet Design and Ms. Lapointe said his “awesome” work added to the books’ appeal. “It’s our way of giving back,” Ms. Lapointe said. “As a family we all feel really blessed and lucky to be together and healthy.”
Her father, Don Flatt, is a brain cancer survivor of seven years and she is happy to be contributing to such a worthy cause. AG Valley Foods owner, Sydney-Anne Porter, was very supportive of her daughter-in-law and her cookbook. “It was very exciting to see the first copy,” said Ms. Porter. “It’s not just a cookbook, it’s what the cookbook represents.” Ms. Porter said the project had an energy wrapped around it which was key to the books’ success. Ms. Lapointe and Ms. Porter, along with Susan Kelly and Diane Lapointe, will be shaving their heads at this year’s Relay for Life event so their long locks can be made into wigs for cancer patients. Other than a brush cut many years ago, this will be a first for Ms. Lapointe. “Everyone has been touched by cancer, I don’t think you’d find anyone that hasn’t been,” she said. Ms. Lapointe said she has plans to make the cookbook an annual event to support a variety of causes in the future. The book, Valley Foods Favourite Recipes, is available for $10 at AG Valley Foods and Details by JoAnne. Relay for Life will take place at David Thompson Secondary School on June 12th.
