New Brunswick

One of four original provinces to join into Confederation in 1867, New Brunswick sits directly above Maine. New Brunswick joins Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as the three Maritime Provinces. To the north, it borders on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and in the east, the Bay of Fundy. The French established colonies along the Bay of Fundy and the St. John River in the first years of the 17th century. A century later, many French colonists (the Acadians) were thrown out by the British in the Great Upheaval. Some found new homes in the American colonies. In a reverse migration, many American colonists who had remained loyal to the English crown sought refuge in New Brunswick after the American Revolution. During the potato famine, many Irish settled in New Brunswick. Today, New Brunswick is a leading producer of potatoes, which feature prominently in poutines rapees. Commercial fishing (scallops, lobster) has long been an important industry. Aquaculture is growing, too, particularly salmon, trout, and shellfish. Tide Head, New Brunswick, proclaims itself the Fiddlehead Capital of the World.

About me: Well, i was born and raised in Canada by parents from Greece. My mother left when I was three, so i was raised by my lovely grand-mother. Thanks to her, I can speak Greek and cook traditional Greek cuisine. My father was always and still is in his restaurant, which gave me plenty of experience as a young kid in the kitchen. I decided at the age of 16 that I would leave the kitchen and work in the front of the house, being a busboy and then eventually a waiter and bartender. I enoy cooking more than ever and I am always open to new recipes and ideas. I am currently in Spain and working in Gibraltar for an online sports bookmaker - www.stanjames.com - in the Canadian department. Good times! Great chance to have some albondigas and paella while I am in Spain. My Profile | Cooks I Like | Reviews | Photos Recipes | Blog Create your own Cook's Profile | MORE Cooks »
