After the Canadian Athletes performed so well in the Olympics and we won the hockey game last night, my blog readers have convinced me to go with "A Taste of Canada A Culinary Journey, by Rose Murray" which I am in total agreement with.
This book presents its self as a coffee table book. The pictures of various parts of Canada are breathtaking and the foods look palatabley familiar. Today I decided to pick one of the foods that brings me back to where I was born...Quebec. The recipe of choice is Tourtieres. Savory French Canadian meat pies that we use to have during the Christmas Holidays. The smell of savory spice and cinnamon filling the house. Hmmmmm. The fun part is that Rose Murray has taken these family size pies and turned them into two bit size appetizers. Flavorful meat with potatoes and spice wrapped in buttery, flaky puff pastry.
The recipe makes 48 turnovers. I just baked what we were going to eat and froze the rest, thank goodness otherwise I would still be eating them.

Thank! I almost called you, but I pushed myself to get my brain around the whole updating idea.
The Turnovers are so yummy, I'm still eating them for breakfast. There even great microwaved. Just don't tell anyone I said that. giggle giggle.
Hmm... I've heard that the Rose Murray's recipes are delicious and because I love to cook I will buy her book.
A friend gave me a voucher and I will get it from here: http://www.canadathestore.com/products/a-taste-of-canada... the price will be like $15... really good and I don't have to pay for the shipping :D I will try some of her recipes and I will be back with an opinion. Thanks for the article and the Tourtieres look yummy!
