Canada has a culinary treasure in Quebec  one that is not perhaps as celebrated as it could be  at least outside of that distinct and gloriously food-obsessed region. Julian Armstrong  longtime food writer for The Gazette of Montreal  has spent her career eating  cooking  thinking and writing about Quebecois food. Made in Quebec: A Culinary Journey is the result of those years of delicious effort. Quebec has a cuisine firmly based on French foundations  but blended and enriched over the years by the cooking styles of a variety of immigrant groups  initially British and American  more recently Italian  Greek  Middle Eastern and Asian. More than in any other province or region in Canada  people in Quebec are passionate and knowledgeable about their food. The restaurant scene is robust  not just in Montreal and Quebec Cityyou can go to just about any small town in la belle province and have a splendid meal. Farmers  purveyors  chefs  casual and dedicated home cooks - all are poised in every season to produce or procure the perfect  seasonal ingredient. Not for them the out-of-season asparagus from Peru. Quebec is where you can truly experience what food tasted like before the industrial food complex. Here unpasteurized milk and cheese is commonplace; indeed there is a herd of cattle descended from cows brought from France by Samuel de Champlain producing milk just for this purpose. Imagine that in the rest of Canada! Of course  Quebec is big news in the global foodie world these days  with Martin Picard (Au Pied de Cochon)  David McMillan and Fred Morin (The Art of Living According to Joe Beef)  and Chuck Hughes (Garde Manger and Chucks Day Off) showing off the joys of dining in this great province. But there is much more still to discover about Quebec  from restaurateurs certainly  but also from farmers  foragers  artisanal cheese and bread makers  home cooks  and so many more. These people  their stories and recipes  comprise Made in Quebec. It is high time for a comprehensive celebration of Quebecois cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648097869877,"sku":"ByrdShop_1443425311","price":75.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781443425315.jpg?v=1781709410","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/made-in-quebec-9781443425315","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
