She has published 8 cookbooks including Simply The Best: Food and Wine from Ontario's Finest Inns, New Celtic Cooking and A Year in Niagara. She opened the pantry last July and it has met with a welcome response from locals and cottagers looking for cheeses, oils, vinegars, coffees, teas, pastas and rice, items often hard to find outside of major centres. Sloan-McIntosh works side by side with her sommelier husband, Ted McIntosh, who operates the pub and bistro (www.blackdogpubbistro.ca).
