Briwood’s Fourth Holiday Cookbook Serves Up Community Favourites The holiday season is about to get a little more delicious with the return of the Briwood Farm Market Holiday Cookbook . Now in its fourth edition, the free cookbook will be available at the beginning of November at Briwood Farm Market, 1030 Talbot Street in St. Thomas. Created in collaboration with Hometown St. Thomas magazine, the annual cookbook brings together recipes from Briwood customers, community members and my own kitchen. The result is a collection that celebrates local connections while offering plenty of inspiration for holiday entertaining and everyday cooking. Since its launch in 2023, the cookbook has become a welcome addition to kitchens across St. Thomas and Elgin County. Last year’s edition disappeared from the shelves quite quickly, showing how much readers appreciate a collection of recipes shared by people in their own community. This year’s release also comes during a special anniversary for Briwood Farm Market, which is celebrating 35 years of serving St. Thomas and the surrounding area. Brian, Sherwood and their team have built lasting relationships with customers while supporting local farmers, producers and creators. From fresh meat, cheese and dairy, to vegetables, fruit and locally made products, Briwood offers plenty of ingredients to help bring the cookbook’s recipes to life. The project extends that connection beyond the market, giving customers another way to enjoy good food and share it with family and friends. Inside the fourth edition, readers will find dishes suited to a var - iety of occasions. There are recipes for festive gatherings, com-
forting meals and sweet treats, along with ideas for the busy weeks leading up to Christmas. Whether you are an experienced cook or just finding your confidence in the kitchen, the empha- sis is on delicious recipes that are easy to follow. Among the discoveries that became favourites in my own household this year are creamy Basque cheese- cake and spicy peanut noodles. They reflect the
Holiday Cookbook – 2026 –
2026 BRIWOOD HOLIDAY COOKBOOK – 1 – HOMETOWN ST. THOMAS cookbook’s mix of holiday inspiration and dishes worth enjoy- ing throughout the year. A new recipe tried for Christmas may quickly earn a place in the regular dinner rotation. Community contributions remain at the heart of the project. Sharing a cherished family recipe or a recent discovery gives others the opportunity to enjoy it, creating new connections and perhaps a few new traditions around the table. Readers are also encouraged to share feedback about the recipes they try. Those comments and favourites could help inspire future editions. With copies available free and demand continuing to grow, an early visit is a good idea. Pick up the fourth annual Briwood Farm Market Holiday Cookbook the first week of November and discover something delicious to share, whether it is for a festive Christmas celebration or a quiet evening at home with family.
