Celebrate the essence of Niagara with Chef David Watt’s new book, “Feast of Friends.”

The cookbook not only offers delectable recipes but also tells the tales behind them, giving readers an intimate glimpse into the heart of Niagara’s kitchens.

Chef Watt shares, “‘Feast of Friends’ was born out of desperation and perhaps a bit of fear. We were locked down, and no one was allowed in, but my ‘friends’ came through the back, and we made a cookbook.”

This locally inspired collection, priced at $45 +hst, transforms adversity into a culinary journey, symbolizing a positive spin on challenging times.

“To my friends that helped me along the way, I thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Chef Watt expresses his gratitude, highlighting the collaborative spirit that fueled the creation of the book.

Highlighting the enduring bonds forged in the culinary world, “Feast of Friends” celebrates the lasting connections among chefs.

Featuring a contribution from Kame and Kettle’s ‘The Righteous Monger‘ Chef J. Mark Hand, who commented recently on Facebook about how Chef Watt’s statement, ‘It’s a very tight-knit family when you befriend a chef; usually, it’s for life,’ resonated with him.

“Feast of Friends” invites you to immerse yourself in the unique flavors and stories that make Niagara truly special. Now available, it’s a culinary adventure waiting to be explored.

Signed copies are available for sale at Kame and Kettle Beerworks in Fonthill – they can also be picked up at Chef Watt’s restaurant, The Garrison House, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
