Chef Michael Smith, Canada’s most popular chef, is back with a brand-new cookbook for all his fans!
Chef Michael Smith’s Kitchen is a fabulous new collection of Michael’s all-time favourite recipes that he regularly cooks at home. Simple, easy to make and packed with tips, all you have to do is follow the instructions and you will be making the best version of the recipe that Chef Michael Smith creates consistently in his own kitchen.
1. Make a plan. Call a mover or truck rental company two months in advance. Pick up boxes from stores and start stockpiling newspapers and tape. Make a list of the utility companies you need to contact and fill out a change-of-address form at the post office.
2. Prepare your family, especially the kids, who can get very stressed by the upheaval of a move. Tell them what to expect so they don't get any surprises and help them adjust to the new surroundings by taking a walk around the neighbourhood.
3. Separate your essentials – pack a travel bag with necessary items, such as toiletries and a change of clothes. The last thing you need after a hectic day of moving is a lost toothbrush.
4. Purchase a safe-deposit box for valuable items. This way they won't get lost in the shuffle.
5. Once you're in your new place, don't rush to get every picture and painting up on the wall the week you move in. Instead of unpacking or cleaning up the first night, give yourself a break and enjoy a nice dinner.
