On the road to the magnificent foods (and buttery baking) of Canada!
A local speciality in Wakefield...the Québecoise-- filled with berries and laden with butter.
And to go with the wines....
Students not only learn to make wine, they create their own charcuterie - great with the Dean's List Pinot Noir. The simple College White was spectacular with the Niagara Culinary Institute (NCI) maple-glazed duck breast...awesome!
For about three decades I've been on a quest to discover...to really pin down...the essence of Canadian cuisine. For years it seemed to be a moving target. Now, finally, I've eaten and traveled widely enough to share insights and tastes and experiences.
My education was like so many others, through sometimes-raw, sometimes star-blessed experience and lots of love. I have come to the realizaton that there's no mystery to cooking...one just needs the secret ingredient of love. Great cooks listen to their hearts.
Here you'll get opinions, read about some very special places and taste the pure sensual pleasure of our country.
