Calling All Kids
Special Children's issue for our readers and subscribers to share with their
children and grand children who may be visiting this summer.

This is one of my favourite pastas to serve while dining outside on a hot summer evening. It is also good served in between courses.

Linguini with Lemon Sauce
from the kitchen of Sharmagne Leland-St. John

Easy to make, hard to forget.  This is an interesting cheese to serve on wheat biscuits or thin ginger snaps at tea time or with a chilled chardonnay.  Enjoy it now while the cherries are ripe and fresh.
