Speaking in Cod Tongues: A Canadian Culinary Journey

"What is Canadian cuisine? Lenore Newman distills much of the current thinking into the erudite & elegantly readable Speaking in Cod Tongues. Her odyssey across the country provides a wealth of culinary detail, giving us a vivid contemporary portrait of Canada's complex & ever-evolving foodways." — James Chatto, National Culinary Advisor, Gold Medal Plates

"A captivating work. Newman recognizes that our food is intrinsically linked to the land & the sea, where foraging and fishing sustained & comforted many generations." — Barry C. Parsons, creator of RockRecipes.com"

As someone deeply connected with regional expressions of food culture in Canada, I know this book will occupy a special place in my library. The idea of an overarching national cuisine for Canada is as complex as the country is diverse. What a wonderful gastronomical journey of discovery!" — Jamie Kennedy, C.M., owner/chef Jamie Kennedy Kitchens
