Publisher's Synopsis
Where did Canada's delicious recipes come from originally?
Why is Canadian cuisine largely not as well-known as their neighbors to the South, the US? What can you look forward to in Canadian dishes? The first cooks in Canada were the indigenous people, the First Nations, who used hundreds of types of plants in their cooking. They also had plenty of wildlife and fish available for use in their tasty recipes. Canadians first boiled, smoked, preserved and roasted the food they ate. The English and French brought with them new techniques and additional ingredients. The dishes you'll find in Canada today are a reflection of all of the interactions. Canadian food is not as concise as Indian food, which makes you think immediately of smells and spices. Canadian cuisine has many characteristics, flavors and textures, so it spans a wide variety of food preparation. Canada is multicultural, so it's not hard to determine why their cuisine is, as well. Their more popular dishes help to define their cuisine, tracing to their local ingredients and historical background. Turn the page, and let's prepare some enticing Canadian dishes!
