Jennifer Schell has published three internationally award-winning cookbooks in her series, The Butcher, The Baker, The Wine & Cheese Maker. The 1st was published in 2012 (no longer in print), followed by the By The Sea version in 2015 and an all-new version of the 1st book featuring the food, drink and farm community of the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia Canada.

Her newest cookbook, The B.C. Wine Lover’s Cookbook was released in June 2020 and has made the Globe & Mail Best Sellers List.
