Review Quotes: "Taking authentic Newfoundland recipes and reimagining them as healthier versions of themselves, while still honouring their roots, seems like an impossible task, but Jessica Mitton manages just that with her new book Some Good. All the recipes in this book are gluten free and rely on healthy fats, so I can satisfy my desire for a good Newfoundland scoff without the guilt that sometimes comes along with it. Can't wait to add it to my library of favorite cookbooks."
