It’s been awhile since I have sent out a Foodie-find update, but having spent the weekend before last in Quebec City I thought I would share my find with you. While eating and drinking my way through the Quebec City wine show, I met Isabel Mihura, proprietress of La Ferme Basque de Carlevoix who was [...]

This weeks Canadian foodie-find is from Ontario, where three new pear varietals are being celebrated. We received the pears in the test kitchen this week and have been munching all week long at various states of ripeness to determine our favourites.
