Description

This book celebrates the cuisine and the countryside of Niagara and southwestern Ontario. You'll find wonderful recipes, appealing full-colour photographs, and up-to-the-minute profiles of more than 40 fine dining establishments. The Niagara Peninsula and southwestern Ontario grow some of Canada's tastiest fruits and vegetables and produce a wide range of fine wines. Many of Canada's best and most innovative chefs work at the inns and restaurants of this region, and the cuisine they are developing is rapidly growing in reputation.
This newly updated second edition contains over 90 of the Niagara region's best recipes. Brenda Matthews gathered recipes from the region's best chefs, then adapted them for home use. For this new edition, Linda Bramble has provided wine suggestions drawn from the finest of Niagara's recent vintages for many of the recipes.
Linda Bramble has also updated the listing of recommended restaurants, adding more than a dozen new restaurants in the region. The inn and restaurant profiles all contain current information, including basic information about each location along with descriptions of cuisine, décor, and facilities. A map will help you to locate each establishment.
As well as a cookbook and a full-colour album of southwestern Ontario, you can use this book as a reliable, independent guide to the best places to dine in a region popular with visitors from all around the world.
