Happy Canada Day, everyone.

To celebrate, I’m making a big batch of Anita Stewart’s Raspberry Maple ice cream. We’ll grill up some chicken from the local butcher and boil some new potatoes fresh from the farmers’ market.  A canola-based dressing laced with herbs from my garden will top a fresh green salad. You don’t get more local than your own back door.

I know you’re a shy bunch, but let’s be patriot today. Place your right hand over your heart, your left hand on the keyboard and share with the world what Canadian food you’re dishing out to celebrate this country’s 142nd birthday.
