Selected Columns from Canadian Living

by Peter Gzowski

For years, a monthly article by Peter Gzowski, the host of CBC Radio’s Morningside , was one of the most popular feature in Canadian Living , one of Canada’s most popular magazines. This is a selection of those columns from the first five Gzowski on everything from kissing the cod in Newfoundland to playing golf on the Arctic ice; on learning to cook and losing it at pool; on gardening, diets and wines; on being a parent, a grandparent, a grandson, a friend, an occasional (and reluctant) public performer, and, as he says, “a mushroom of the electronic age.”

I never listened to Peter on the radio - it was a time before I discovered that joy. This book was a $1.00 library book sale find. Boy - I'm glad that I did find it! This was the perfect book to read in bed. None of the stories where so heavy that I couldn't sleep but neither were they so light that they were ho hum. The book is a collection of his columns from Canadian Living magazine. If you can't find this book at the library anymore, pick up one of Mr. Gzowski's other books.

A great sampling of columns by this great Canadian! Easy to pick up and put down because each ‘chapter’ is only 3 or 4 pages at most. #1365

Back-filling this in early 2021.
Probably read it in the mid 90s.

pleasant and easy enough reading but i put it aside halfway through it... did not find that the author had much to say.
