Flavours
of a Region
Eastern
Townships
Come and meet the producers and chefs, artisans who work with a rich
palette of colours, aromas, and flavours. Their eagerness to share the
details and delights of their occupations with others testifies to the
immense pride they take in their work.
Farming specialties, traditional food and wines, inns, small
cafés, fairs, and farmers' markets—every
attraction is a new opportunity to savour the considerable diversity of
local products, whether duck or goat, cheese or alcoholic berry drinks,
all lovingly bred or processed. |

SAVOUR
QUEBEC Regional Bounty is a
tribute to the men and women who have embarked on careers that have
long connected us to the land and water.
The artisans featured
here are gracious and generous. Some welcome visitors to their farms
and processing facilities and, with great pride, offer a beverage made
with berries, sparkling cider, duck rillettes or a poultry terrine.
SAVOUR
QUEBEC Regional Bounty presents over thirty recipes - all deliciously
illustrated - created by professional chefs whose talents mesh
perfectly with those of the artisan producers.
Taking
a drive along these country roads is a must. Along the way, take the
time to stop and meet the artisans. Friendly, kind and brimming with
talent, they will help you discover the flavours of Quebec!

“Michèle
Foreman, a journalist with a discriminating palate and the instincts of
a detective, has made it her mission to find Quebec specialties at
their source. The most widely promoted products are sometimes more
ordinary than something produced in small quantities in some
out-of-the-way location with no advertising other than a handwritten
sign at the gate.
An
authoritative guide like Michèle is invaluable: When she
shares a
tip with me about a product she finds remarkable, an impressive new
restaurant or a chef making wonderful use of local ingredients, I
listen - and plan my travels accordingly.”
— Julian Armstrong, food editor, The Gazette
