Winnipeg’s Outstanding Food Scene
Dan Clapson says, “Winnipeg has outgrown Edmonton both in food quality and the diversity of what it has to offer, and the city is ‘leaps and bounds’ above Saskatoon and Regina.”


Bread, Wine, Chocolate
Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love by Simran Sethi discusses the growth and production of some of our favourite foods: bread, wine, chocolate, coffee, and beer. I’ve read a number of similar books, but this one is worth reading for several reasons: the tasting notes to help readers identify and appreciate what they’re eating; the unexpected pieces, such as a look at preparing Karah Prasad at the Sikh Golden Temple in India; and the author’s emotional response to food and food producers.

Flavourful Saskatoon is a weekly Monday feature. I also post articles about food that is good, clean and fair; travel; and books. 

You can follow Wanderlust and Words on Facebook, Twitter, or by email (top right corner).
