Ottawa Cooks: Signature Recipes from the Finest Chefs of Canada's Capital Region
Ottawa is not your typical national capital. It straddles two provinces, bridges three founding cultures, and may be better known for its Hill and canal than for its cooking. Ottawa Cooks changes that.
Award-winning food writer Anne DesBrisay brings together recipes from 41 of the Capital Region’s most inspiring cooks. From fine restaurants, food trucks, and farmhouse kitchens, here are signature dishes, favorite staff meals, and traditional family recipes that assert what people in Ottawa already for more than 20 years, this capital has been quietly and steadily growing one of the most interesting and diverse food cultures in the country.
Beautifully photographed by Christian Lalonde, Ottawa Cooks showcases more than 80 recipes featuring the best of the region’s local products with globally inspired flavors — and the gifted chefs who create them.

Great book of recipes by chefs from too Ottawa restaurants. Everything from modern Mexican to farm-to-table Canadian, with beautiful photographs. I read it while on the road (in Ottawa) so I haven't had a chance to make any of the recipes yet (I copied down a bunch) and due to a few things going sideways, I didn't have a chance to eat at any of the restaurants either. But I did really enjoy the book. Very high quality.

Lovely collection of recipes for Ottawa's restaurants. Loved seeing what the chef would share with the public. Despite being a "small town" Ottawa has a lot of offer on the culinary front. Not an every day cookbook , yet a good resource to "wow" your friends and family with restaurant worthy meals :)
