When Alberta cuisine is mentioned, beef is often the first and only thing to come to mind. In fact, however, Alberta has a wealth of local food products and its producers have won recognition and awards for cheeses, chocolate, corn, grains, oils, game birds and animals, and much more. From mountain to prairie, forest to river, this fertile province overflows with options for the creative cook.
Journalist and food specialist Cinda Chavich has visited farms, dairies, bakeries, and delis looking for the very best Alberta has to offer. The result is a breathtaking book that combines delicious recipes, beautiful color photographs, food sources, cooking and shopping tips, and local history.
Celebrate the taste and variety of regional cuisine with High Plains: The Joy of Alberta Cuisine. There is a world of flavour waiting for you in your own backyard.
