Discover the foods that have defined and are redefining Canadian cuisine. The incredibly varied regions of Canada all have their own unique culinary character due to contrasts in geography, climate and history and the backgrounds of people who inhabit these regions. Food traditions of indigenous peoples and those brought by newcomers, together with this country's magnificent resources-rich farmland, an abundance of fresh water and oceans on three sides-have formed a unique cuisine that is distinctly Canadian. In A Taste of Canada: A Culinary Journey, Rose Murray provides a collection of classic and contemporary Canadian dishes that is a true celebration of this country's unique palate. Regional ingredients are highlighted throughout, and special menus have been created to reflect each region's gastronomic personality, whether it is a traditional holiday menu or a picnic in Stanley Park.
