Canadian recipes - 5 recipes

By Rachel Dignam

The culinary notion of what constitutes itself as Canadian cuisine, truly never crossed my mind until I began travelling.  Plagued by an unbearable amount of small talk conversation, I was forced to at least attempt to come up with an answer. Stuttering out stereotypes I begrudgingly replied with poutine, anything with maple syrup, Montreal bagels and BeaverTails. In reality and upon a further, less-pestered reflection, I came to the conclusion that Canadian cuisine is much like its people.  It is a culinary and cultural mosaic that encompasses the most prized traditions of its immigrants.
