Coffey Reg

is a local coffee roaster and part owner of the Cornwall Free News digital newspaper.  Before repatriating to the Cornwall area Reg spent 32 years working as a food technologist at various companies in the food industry.  He began writing his cookbook during the recession in 1991 which was also the first time he was downsized / rightsized / reengineered out of a good paying job.  It just seemed like a natural for him.  Having an incredible appetite for both good food and beer, and a natural ability to cook, it just seemed like a good make work project.  Over the years he has added to his recipe list (and his experience with beer) until he put it all together in a book format in 2004 for a Christmas gift for his friends and family.  Now it is available for all to purchase.
