Main article: Jean Paré

Paré started as a caterer. In 1981, at the age of 54, she self-published her first cookbook, printing 15,000 copies of 150 Delicious Squares. The book was sold in specially designed racks at gas stations, grocery stores and at local fairs.[3] This first book started the Company's Coming company.

Recipes

During the late 80s, Paré asked a local Morinville, Alberta resident, Jeannette Bachand, for some recipes to include in an upcoming cookbook. The first of Bachand's recipes were published in 1989 after Banchard called Company's Coming for a specific recipe for green tomatoes. There were no recipes for such a thing and was called by Paré for some recipes. When Dinners of the World was being written for release in 1991, Pare asked Blanchard for French Canadian recipes. Four of the recipes are featured in the book, but her name is not due to the company's style.[4]
