Montreal's Appetite for Books is typically in the business of selling other people's cookbooks (in addition to hosting culinary demos, classes, and author signings and meet-and-greets). That's all about to change with the release of Montreal Cooks: A Tasting Menu from the City’s Leading Chefs. The 224-page cookbook, by Appetite for Books' own Jonathan Cheung and Tays Spencer, features recipes from 40 of Montreal's best chefs (see below), and, notably, a foreword by McGill grad and all-around food mega-celebrity, Gail Simmons.
