“Fruitcake Redeemed” in the National Post

December 10, 2013 Leave a Comment

kens-fruitcakeCheck out my article in the National Post today on Quebec-made artisanal fruitcake: “One man’s quest to save the mighty—yet maligned—holiday loaf.”

Montrealer Ken Ilasz soaks dried fruit in rum, kirsch, and eau de vie, uses local products (ever heard of the haskap berry?), and generally adds a merry amount of booze to both Quebecois and Japanese Christmases.

Read the article to join in the merriment, the comfort, and the joy.
