"Angela was like a fresh summer breeze for the winter-bored palette with her sensational no-cooking ideas."

Joe Easingwood, Host, CFAX Radio in Victoria, B.C.

"Angela Tunner and her No-Cook cooking techniques were certainly what my North American audience needed in the heat of the summer. Her tips were invaluable and she really knew her stuff."

Jesse Dylan, Host, The Good Life Show, Sirius Satellite Network

"I still love my pantry redux. Shopping is MUCH easier. Cooking is also. I am now completely territorial over my pantry. When ever anyone goes to get something. I say 'You didn't move anything, did you?' I think I may be training a future generation. What great seeds to be sown for my kids future kitchen."

Karen Hollowell, Vancouver, B.C.

I hate cooking. I truly envy those of you who enjoy the process of creating a nice meal for their family and friends. I keep looking for inspiration. I have two daughters (ages 6 and 4) who are difficult eaters, the oldest being a particularly tough customer. I look forward to the newsletter and hope someday I won't approach the dinner-making hour with such apprehension.
Thank you,

Roberta

“What a breath of fresh air. Angela is a gourmet that opens the door and lets you see into her life as mother and family cook without sacrificing her standards. She simplifies and shows you how she manages, making it seem like somehow in my crazy life as writer and mother, I can do it too. She provides an important voice in today’s food landscape, where we are all trying to juggle way too much and yet, eat well.”

Mollie Cox Bryan, writer and author of Mrs. Rowe’s Restaurant Cookbook: A Lifetime of Recipes From the Shenandoah Valley (Ten Speed Press)

"Angela Tunner is a dedicated chef, talented cookbook author, organizational guru and as I like to say, “the female version of Jacques Pepin”; her technique is terrific in the kitchen and so is her ability to share it with others. In Simply Summer, for example, Angela is able to bring her pages alive so that we are all inspired to eat better, fresher meals with those we love. She's a true Renaissance Gourmet."

Mary Luz Meija, Food Writer/Associate Producer/Researcher, Freelance- Food Network Canada

“Thank you for introducing me to your cooking resources and your new cookbook, Simply Summer. I am like you, a working professional and mother of two small children with not enough hours in a day. I was concerned about buying yet another cookbook, where it would sit on my shelf and not be utilized. I worried that it would be overwhelming, difficult to master and would prevent me from spending time with my family.

Much to my surprise I was incorrect! Your recipes are delicious, mapped out for easy navigation in the grocery store, and can be prepared in up to 15 minutes to allow time with my family. I am so grateful I decided to give it a try. Now we know that it does a great job and the meals are fantastic! It delivered fast, simple, easy and most of all a delicious meal that my family enjoyed.

I highly recommend this cookbook and the use of your website for additional tips and best practices. I realized, mealtime does not need to be stressful, it should be an experience.

I am happy to say I have been successful in making Mango Coconut Chicken and I am off and running with dinner No. 2 this week. It was fabulous and very easy to make. Also took your tips and best practices for cleaning out my utensil drawer – there were things I never knew existed. Thank you so much – your blog has been a great resource. Thank you!

Kristin Dolynski, Surrey BC

I wish everybody saw life like you did – I think if they did, there would be a lot more happy people living a much more beautiful life.

Angela Tunner, The Renaissance Gourmet, is the strongest culinary brand to ever come out of Canada.

Patti Poskitt, Executive Producer, Second Sons Productions and Global TV

"t was such fun listening to you on the CBC today. I am looking forward to your recipes and ideas – I will be having a kidney transplant in Vancouver in Nov. and we have to rent some kind of furnished condo for three months. My husband will be doing the cooking – he is a great cook – so I was thinking it will be fun to try out some new things once I am able to eat regular foods again – oh for the taste of sea salt!! Thanks for this service."

Pat Scanlan
