Quebec

Stretching between the Hudson Bay and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, La belle province is Canada’s largest and the second most populous province. Fiercely independent, Quebec is the only Canadian province with a majority French-Canadian population. Settled by the French in the early 17th century as a fur trading colony, Quebec would be lost to Britain the following century. However, its French flavor remains. French food traditions abound in the rustic country breads, meat pies, cretons (a spread for toast made with pork), artisan cheeses (like Oka, made by Trappist monks), and foie gras. Soupe aux pois (yellow pea soup) with salt pork is a national French-Canadian dish. Feves au Lard (Quebec Baked beans) is often cooked with maple syrup. (Quebec produces more maple syrup than any other province.) Poutine, a popular comfort food, consists of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds and hot brown gravy. Pate chinois, another French-Canadian dish, is similar to English Shepherd’s pie. Pastrami-like smoked meat sandwiches and bagels baked in wood-fired ovens are local Montreal favorites.

Bangin' Banana Bread

Reviewed on Nov. 27, 2009 by The Purple Chef 
The best banana bread I've ever made! I didn't use the nuts since I didn't have any, and substituted chocolate chips instead. Baked it in a rectangular baking dish. Tasted great! Will definitely make this again in the near future.

Tom Ka Gai (Coconut Chicken Soup)

Reviewed on Nov. 26, 2009 by tibbadee 
Never tried this soup at a Thai restaurant - in fact I know nothing about Thai food - but this was a great soup, did some modifications though. I only had one can of coconut cream, and I only used 3 cups of water which was plenty. I added a tablespoon of lime juice, omitted the turmeric, and put big chunks of ginger that I took out before serving. I had no green onion and replaced the fresh cilantro with dried cilantro; also added about two or three teaspoons of white sugar. It was a rather yummy soup, all in all! At first my family thought it smelled and tasted strange, but after a few sips they all liked it. Thanks for a great recipe!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake Cookies

Reviewed on Nov. 27, 2009 by Good Cooker 
This was a great and easy cookie recipe. I should have read all the previous reviews though b/c there was to much salt. Definitley cut down on the salt, it goes to the edges and so the first thing you taste is salt. I also used butterscotch & Chocolate chips in this recipe, and it turned out great.
