Martin Zibauer
Martin Zibauer is a writer and editor in Toronto, an uneven cook, a cat person and an avid lawn bowler. He writes regularly about do-it-yourself and food for Cottage Life and other magazines. He’s an adventurous traveller, preferring island nations to continents, grocery stores to markets and a country’s second-largest city to its metropolis.
