What are some of the most well-known dishes made in the Canadian province of Quebec?

What other types of recipes are cooks in the area especially fond of?

Can you recreate the French Canadian dishes authentically at home?

Quebec is among the most historic and oldest Canadian provinces. They have world class dining, especially in and around Montreal; much of it based on French cuisine. Even though this cookbook includes 30 recipes, it's only scratching the surface of the types of dishes you can make using French Canadian recipes.

The cuisine of Quebec ranges from that fine dining to "greasy spoon" home-made dishes. Many foods in the province are as iconic as Canada, including maple syrup, pea soup, smoked meats and poutine.

Quebec is rightfully known for its maple syrup, providing about 75% of all maple syrup consumed worldwide! The original inhabitants of Canada taught settlers how to properly tap the trees, then boil off water. The sugary-sweet sap is included in many of the recipes, and they're not all desserts, either.

From fine dining restaurants to home-cooking, from breakfast to lunch, dinner, side dishes and desserts, you'll find lots of authentic recipes here. Turn the page; let's cook Quebec originals!
