By Leeann Froese It’s a new week to introduce you to one of the fabulous personalities in the world #withTownHall!
This does not mean they work as part of our team, or are our client (although sometimes they are).
We just interact with so many amazing people that we want to expand networks and introduce them to you, and you to them. This week #withTownHall, we introduce you to Mary Halpen.
Mary is one of the original eight friends who founded Best of Bridge.
In 1975, Mary, along with a group of friends who played bridge together regularly, decided that they would write a cookbook to celebrate the food they shared with each other when they'd meet. Their first book in 1976 led the way for more than 15 books between then and now.
These recipes, written by regular moms, have worked for families across Canada for decades. Best of Bridge recipes are staples at dinners, potlucks and gatherings, and the generation of children that was raised on these cookbooks is now cooking these recipes for themselves.
The original members of Best of Bridge, including Mary, are setting to retire; but they are passing on their legacy to new groups and Best of Bridge continues to live on.
If you have not tried any of the Best of Bridge recipes, then don't let the holiday season go by without giving one of these tried-and-true group friendly recipes a try.
And in honour of the trailblazing work that Mary and her seven friends did in starting Best of Bridge can you please give her a big hello!
