Maison Cote on social bites

Wow what a great concept! 

 Vancouver area,  here is a new twist on a dinner with strangers at home, it call social bites, it look so fun! 

they ask me if I could provide some of my products to the gifts basket and Yes I will what a great Idea 

I love to promote cooking at home as we are becoming more and more cooking illiterate.

here is one e-mail I received from Cannele around Quebec City

Bonjour du Québec!

j’ai découvert vos produits à Granville Market. Je les aime beaucoup et j’en profite pour en rapporter à chaque fois que je me rends à Vancouver.

Je vous fais part d’une boulangerie dans la Ville de Beauport (banlieue de la Ville de Québec) qui fait de très bons canelés. Les propriétaires sont Français. J’en achète lorsque je vais rendre visite à ma belle-famille à Beauport. Voici leur site web (en français seulement):

Au plaisir de vous rencontrer au Marché Granville un de ces jours!
