Winnipeg Cooks
Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver may be bigger and flashier, but foodies in the know have been whispering another city's name under their breath for years. The rest of us are about to be let in on the secret.
Where do you go if you want to experience a taste of farm-fresh cooking with an international flare? Or a slice of cake to make the angels sing? How about some traditional perogies made with some decidedly untraditional ingredients? What if you're looking to try out a nouveau supper club, or a public feast at a family farm?
You go to Winnipeg.
In Winnipeg Cooks, thirty-five of the city's epicurean trailblazers share stories and recipes from the frontlines of an emerging culinary hotspot. From the hearty eastern European standards of the working class North End to storied steakhouses that have fed generations to an explosion of bold hybrid menus by risk-taking young chefs - this is how Winnipeg cooks.
If you're looking for inspiration for your next meal, look no further. Featuring the stunning photography of Ian McCausland and 70 mouth-watering and chef-tested recipes, Winnipeg Cooks will leave you hungry for more.

Back in late Dec 2021 I won a contest on Tourism Winnipeg's Visit Winnipeg Facebook page. Thank you Peg City Grub and Tourism Winnipeg for the hard copy of Winnipeg Cooks: Signature Recipes From The City's Top Chefs by Robin Summerfield. This 2015 book features 44 of Winnipeg's innovative eateries. Chefs and owners share their stories and notable recipes. The drool-worthy dishes, including appetizers, soups, salads, sides, mains, and desserts are all beautifully photographed. I honestly won't be following many of these recipes. I would rather go to the restaurants to try these creations. I've only been to a handful of the places promoted in this book (Baked Expectations, Chocolatier Constance Popp, Hermanos, Norwood Hotel, Promenade Cafe, & Tall Grass Prairie Bread Co.) - so there's lots of good eats left to explore in The Peg!

A quick read and a fun picture of the culinary world of Winnipeg. I’ll be trying several of the recipes - starting with perogies!
