LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
November? H
ow did it get to be November already? Time is going so quickly, is it a sign of ageing or are we just having too much fun? We have been having fun though - in the interest of research - to not only bring you news of some fantastic new restaurant openings (we couldn’t fit them all in this issue, so more to come in December!), as well as our Holiday Gift Guide. We hope you enjoy these suggestions as much as we enjoyed trialling them to bring you only the best! We were recently asked about the environmental impact of our choice to have Culinaire printed as a glossy publication with a UV coating. To explain, the UV coating on the cover is environmentally friendly, and necessary to stop the scratches that occur when the magazines are stacked and delivered.
The benefits of UV coatings are many: • They’re not petroleum-based like many other varnishes and do not release VOCs into the air like solvent-based coatings. • The coating is easily decomposed by hydrolysis and oxidation, and is completely recyclable. • It doesn’t pose any health risks, as it’s not carcinogenic or hazardous. • And UV coatings use less energy, as they’re cured by UV light rather than heat. Many thanks to Al V. for raising this important issue and for his response: “Thank you very much for all your information. I see you have put a lot of thought into your publications and it is appreciated. I am particularly resentful when it is unsolicited. That means it goes
to every subscriber as well and this is what gets my hackles up. Your magazine was picked up because we wanted it and that is a big difference. Thanks.” We do encourage you to to recycle your paper copies. and also to visit our website, culinairemagazine.ca, for additional content and recipes. Cheers
Linda Garson, Editor-in-Chief
Correction: Our apologies, in our October issue, we mistakenly stated that the Jungle Farm was established in 1867 by the Quartz Family when it should have said that the Quantz Family established the farm in 1897.
For show-stopping platters and gifts that never get regifted. We’ve got you covered this holiday season. Grocery. Bakery. Deli. Café.
