It’s been two years since Gail Hall succumbed to cancer. Her husband, Jon Hall, wanted to have her life and contributions remembered in a concrete way. The book about Gail’s life, Maps, Markets and Matzo Ball Soup: The inspiring life of Chef Gail Hall by Twyla Campbell launched October 28. “Taking on this project was intimidating,” says Twyla. “Her story deserved to be told well and with authenticity and I didn’t want to let her down.” Twyla will be talking about the book and signing copies at Kitchen by Brad (10130 105 Street, 780-757-7704) on November 4, from 1-3pm. One of the sweetest things in the book are the recipes. Expect something good to eat while you are there. The book is also available at Audrey’s Books, 10702 Jasper Avenue, 780-423-3487.
