The return of raclette. Now serving a piña-colada...upside-down cake. Three’s company, when you’re making devilled eggs.  In between client projects, the team at Savvy Beautiful Books compiled their favourite winter recipes from another era into a snack-sized necessity for your kitchen. Worth the Weather contains over a dozen main recipes (plus bonus recipes and variations!) that have stood the test of time. This cookbook is a reminder that food is supposed to be fun, flavourful, and celebratory—no matter the mercury reading on the old glass thermometer outside.

This 46-page digest-sized compilation was sparked by a shared love of the winter comfort foods of the authors’ youth. Free-wheeling, feel-good dishes like classic Crêpes Suzette in all their boozy, buttery goodness, or holiday-spiced mulled Apple Cider.

Styled and photographed on location in the Cockrall cabin’s perfect 1970s kitchen as well as the 1976 Travelaire trailer, the creatives at Savvy Beautiful Books showcase the upside of the Canadian cold. With a gorgeous design and rich photos, this carefully curated collection of recipes, comes in the perfect beautifully photographed and designed booklet, printed in Canada on Forest Stewardship Council-certified paper and bound with lay-flat wire binding, a staple of 1970s cookbooks. It’s a treat for both eye and palate.
