Thomas Haney chefs launch “The Thunder Kitchen Cookbook”

June 9, 2025

By Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows News Staff

A cookbook celebrating the creativity and talents of the culinary arts students at Thomas Haney Secondary has been launched to raise money for the school program.

Instructors Chef Brian Smith and Chef Karen Carruthers have put together a beautifully curated cookbook showcasing favourite recipes from the Thunder teaching kitchen at the school. 

The book was eight years in the making and was officially launched at the recent Thomas Haney Art Gallery event, where guests enjoyed a spread of charcuterie and lemonade while browsing and purchasing copies.  

“The process of creating the book was as joyful as the outcome,” said Chefs Smith and Carruthers, who worked closely with students throughout the creation of the project.
