Whitewater Cooks The Food We Love - Shelley Adams, Conner Adams

Shelley Adams lives in Nelson, British Columbia, with her husband Mike and their dog Lucy, the luckiest golden retriever on the planet. Shelley, the bestselling author of the Whitewater Cooks series, is known for her ability to create recipes using everyday, easily sourced ingredients that can be flung together for a weeknight meal or a memorable dinner with friends.

Shelley attended a world-renowned cooking school in Paris and then returned to Vancouver where she thrived as a caterer in the film business. In the late 80s, Shelley and Mike became the owners of the Whitewater Ski Resort where Shelley ran the Fresh Tracks Café, which soon became a destination for foodies. Shelley’s children, Ali and Conner, both share her passion for and love of great food.

Conner Adams lives in Venice Beach, California, with his wife, Sarah, and their perfect cat, Thomas. He loves cooking and creating delicious recipes for Sarah, their lucky friends, and readers of this newest Whitewater Cooks cookbook. When growing up in Nelson, Conner’s love of cooking began through exposure to good food both at home and at the Fresh Tracks Café.

The Food We Love is a beautiful blend of Shelley’s Kootenay-style fare and Conner’s upbeat California cuisine. We welcome you to the pages, photos and recipes of this book to enjoy for years to come! 

No surprise that a son growing up in the kitchen alongside
Shelley Adams would develop a similar passion for cooking!
In this collection of all-new recipes, Shelley has collaborated
with her son Conner to create and develop recipes that have
Shelley’s Kootenay mountain-style tradition meeting Conner’s
healthy Californian cuisine. Think Wild Mushroom and
Gruyere Tarte, Sweet Potato Thai Green Curry and Luscious Blood Orange and Cardamom Cake or the Best Key Lime Pie Ever.
Together they have created another amazing new Whitewater
cookbook with fabulous recipes for everyday living, special
occasions and more - it’s the food we love!
