Cooking Along the Enchanted Highway
The Enchanted Recipes Cookbook is a collection of recipes put together by the Gladstone Park Board and published in 2009. As stated in the book, it "was created as a special way to keep memories of our friends and family who live along the Enchanted Highway. What better way to remember than by sharing a recipe filled with local tradition, handed down through the generations." The Enchanted Recipes Cookbook also includes the history and location details of the Enchanted Highway.
