Yvonne Moore (center) talks about the different pots you can use when canning during a Food Guru session on food preservation on Sunday evening. According to the North Columbia Environmental Society's Sarah Newton (left), "She gave lots of information and helpful tips on canning, dehydrating, pickling, and storage of root vegetables. Yvonne grew up in Quesnel and made annual trips to the Okanagan to get her fruit for the winter. She canned on wood fires, enough food to provide for her large family all winter." Her daughter Lisa Moore is a long-time Revelstoke resident. The event was sponsored by the NCES. The society's series of Food Guru workshops have focused on organic gardening, composting, seed storage and food preservation. David F. Rooney photo
