A Taste of Canada
A Taste of Canada: member book reviews
Zosia from Toronto, ON
This is an excellent cookbook focusing on Canadian cuisine that includes recipes using ingredients indigenous to the country or raised/produced within, and that celebrate its multiculturalism. But more than that, it’s a cookbook filled with easy recipes for delicious food.
The information provided about ingredients, country and cooking techniques is interesting and helpful, and the recipes, organized into chapters according to course, are clear, often very quick to make, and turn out very well; the beautiful photographs of food and country are bonus. I really appreciated the little twists used to elevate a plain dish to something much more interesting without spending extra time in the kitchen eg grilled pork chops served with grilled apples, seafood stew with a pinch of saffron, or that simplified a traditional recipe eg butter tarts in phyllo, tourtière in puff pastry.
This book was a gift from my son who thought I would enjoy cooking from it…..he was right. So much more to explore in it….
