Loredana Cunti says, “Like so many women, Mrs. Claus is such a boss-lady running the workshop behind the scenes, so it’s an honour helping to bring this cookbook to life. Cooking is a universal language of love and creativity, so it’s a treat to be able to whip up family fun while empowering young people to gain life skills.”
Jackson Walker, Director of Operations from STEPSTONES adds, ““When Santa’s reindeer and Mrs. Claus came to us with the chance to collaborate on THE REINDEER CAFÉ COOKBOOK, we said yes faster than Santa’s sleigh! Thank you to everyone in the North Pole for donating proceeds to support the youth in and from the foster care system that STEPSTONES for Youth works to support.”
Santa says, “Ho! Ho! Hope you enjoy making these yummy treats and leave some for us on the big night!”
Whether you’re baking for cozy gatherings or setting out a plate for Santa, The Reindeer Café Cookbook promises a delicious adventure that will warm hearts—and bellies—for years to come.
