Who’s on your Christmas shopping list? A foodie with every gadget, book and gizmo known to man? A locavore or green thumb who prefers to grown their own veggies, or support a local farmer? Or a transplant from the other side of our home and native land who gets a little homesick, from time to time, for their hometown? Allow us to introduce Homegrown: Celebrating the Canadian Foods We Grow, Raise and Produce by Mairlyn Smith. We can guarantee your foodie friend won’t have it (it comes out today), the recipes within only make use of Canadian made, grown, or manufactured edibles (exceptions are made for spices), and it contains recipes like Gluten-Free PEI Potato Lasagna, Red Lentil Waffles with Pear Sauce, and Asian-Style Nova Scotia Scallops with Miso Glaze. The final Canadian-grown cranberry on top? Mairlyn is a nutrition expert and professional home economist, so these recipes are healthy, easy to make, and come marked with nutrition break-downs—so handy for diabetics or those on low-sodium diets. ($33, available in stores at Indigo or at amazon.ca)
