Keeping with the holiday spirit, Chef Rachel Bayes serves up a scrumptious mushroom tart recipe, film columnist Michael Sobota shares his picks for films about winter holiday origin stories, and we get a sneak peek at Magnus Theatre’s production of Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol.  Also in the pages of the December issue, Asia Gustafson speaks with the Good Lovelies about their Sleeping Giant Folk Music Society concert, Ayano Hodouchi explores the Thunder Bay Art Gallery’s joint exhibition with Science North, Indigenous Ingenuity, and we go Eye to Eye with the new host of CBC Radio’s Superior Morning, Sean Vanderklis.
