Hi! My favourite Canadian dish is a Blueberry Maple Syrup Upside down cake. I was in Newfoundland this summer and used fresh NL wild blueberries, and maple syrup from quebec. I’m not sure if that’s a traditional Canadian dish, but it sure should be! I’d love to win a copy of this cookbook so I can try some great homegrown recipes. Also, I think a cookbook club is awesome. I love your blog. Thanks for writing.
Hmmmm. That’s a hard one. I was thinking Nanaimo Bars or Buttertarts, but really, my favourite Canadian dish will be one which uses fresh local fruits and vegetables, think asparagus, tomoatoes, raspberries….

I don’t have one specific food that is my favorite, but for me Canadian food is best highlighted in the summer when I make homemade burgers using Canadian beef, served alongside grilled vegetables from my garden. For dessert, it is either a fruit crisp using local blueberries and maple syrup or butter tarts.
What’s more Canadian than buttertarts? My favourite treat that I don’t enjoy very often.

My favorite Canadian dish would be fresh vegetables from our garden mixed in salads, omelettes, pasta or anything else I can think to put them in
My all time favorite Canadian dish would be a smoked ham baked in beer and maple syrup, side dishes of scallop potatoes and any vegie roasted.
One of my favourite Canadian foods is Bluebrry Pancakes with hand picked Ontario blueberries and Canadian Maple Syrup. I would LOVE to win this because I’m dying to try the Home Grown Butter Tarts and the Lentil and Wheatberry salad.?
My favourite Canadian dish has to be poutine!
My favourite dish is a Jiggs dinner. It’s the best comfort meal I can think of.
So many great Canadian foods! Fresh blueberries from the farms in Richmknd BC are one of my favorites!!
My favourite Canadian dish would have to Saskatoon pie served warm with ice cream right after a freshly BBQ steak served with fresh potatoes and veggies from the garden! Another favorited is S’mores around a campfire.
pancakes and canadian maple syrup! with local butcher bacon!….don’t have twitter. Love Mairlyn!
Butter tarts with pecans!!!!
My favorite Canadian dish would have to be fish cakes and baked beans….maybe with you tons on the side…yummy
I’m struggling with the question of my favourite Canadian dish. I currently live in Australia (but my Mom would receive the book and bring it over when she comes after baby is born in June!) and we’re hosts for something called the Welcome Project where newcomers and established residents come together for a facilitated potluck dinner, everyone bringing a meal from their country/childhood. I don’t know what to make!
My Grandpa’s family were wheat farmers on the Prairies and I’d have to say that my late Grandmom’s freshly baked buns were my favourite food. Grandpa used to tell us that dessert growing up was fresh bread with leftover beef gravy poured on it. Yum!

Tourtière pie is such a treat!
But I would enjoy learning about more and how to cook them.
Thank you

My favorite is butter tarts!
OK, Tweeted. And my favourite Canadian dish is anything I grow in my garden. Or tourtiere. Or both, together.
My favourite Canadian dish would be anything involving Canadian Beef! We are proud beef producers too!

Favourite Canadian dish would be rhubarb (usually made into a crisp) from my garden. I always have lots in the freezer to enjoy throughout the year.
I’m going to say Saskatoon pie, so yummy and no so easy to get around here, so quite the treat.
Thanks for the chance to win, really want this cookbook, I’m such a fan. 🙂
