THE FLAVOURS OF CANADA
A CELEBRATION OF THE FINEST REGIONAL FOODS

Author: Anita Stewart
Publisher: Raincoast Books, Vancouver

About the book

The Flavours of Canada: A Celebration of the Finest Regional Foods is the culmination of nearly two decades of Anita Stewart's culinary travel. In it she has explored Canada's roots, its ethnicity and its future. She has held up a mirror to a nation. The 150 tested recipes range from homespun – The Best Bran Muffins, Cape Breton Oatcakes and Braised Quebec Lamb Shanks with White Beans, to sophisticated – Grilled Lake Huron Splake with Fava Beans, Bison Carpaccio and Pinot Poached Plums with Hazelnut Shortcakes and Crème Fraiche Ice Cream. Throughout the book she honours both the ingredients and those who create them.

The Flavours of Canada is more than a collection of recipes, it is a celebration of researchers and farmers, producers and artisans, chefs and winemakers. Meet Rose Anne Waite from Ozzie's Diner in rural New Brunswick, the late Gary Johnston, who developed the Yukon Gold potato, and Cuyler Page who runs the Grist Mill at Keremeos, the largest public grain garden in Canada.

Partnering with Stewart through many of her more recent adventures, award-winning photographer Robert Wigington created the images that make this book a stunning look at the real Canadian cuisine.
