Part 4 of 5

Now that we have collected all the ingredients we need, both past and present... Let's see if we can come up with a good recipe for "Maritime Cuisine"...

Start with the basic ingredients provided by the land, as used by the Mi'kmaq. Game meats and birds, fish and seafood, fruit and berries... and the herbs that grew here originally.

Add to that... a liberal amount of French gourmet culinary knowledge. This includes fine wine and the many ingredients they bring with them from Europe, and their extensive global trading.

Now, stir in an equal amount of years of English foreign trade and influence. Without this, your recipe won't turn out the same as mine :-)

It's time to gently fold in our many immigrant's styles of cooking. Hearty German and Dutch foods, and the rustic dishes of Scotland and Ireland will have a huge effect on the outcome of the finished product. Spice things up a bit with some African-American, Italian and Asian know-how and ingredients.

Let's not forget to add in the leftovers... a large handful of Acadian tradition and ingenuity, or maybe two... it's startin' to smell sum good in 'ere now, Bey... :-)

Ready for the finishing touch?

Let's cover all this with the experience of past and present Chefs, influences of modern conveniences, vast knowledge from the internet and TV, available ingredients from anywhere in the world... and let's see what we have...

Nova Scotian cuisine is an eclectic and diverse mixture of the old and the new. It has immense depth and flavor. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, and prepared by modern day Chefs, there is a taste that everyone will enjoy. Combining new styles and trends, these skilled professionals create dishes that amaze and delight their customers.

You don't want to miss our tasty finale... see you next time :-)
