We believe that it is the marriage of diverse cultures, traditions, and stories that makes Canada strong. With this in mind, it is with great pleasure that Éditions Klorofil presents a cookbook celebrating the great multiculturalism of our nation, in honour of Canada's 150th anniversary. This culinary collection will take readers on a journey around the world by glimpsing into the kitchens of the foreign diplomats who represent their countries in Canada. We asked the foreign diplomats featured in this cookbook to share their favourite recipe with us, thereby offering a peek into their childhood memories and family heritage. Not only will this collector's item pay tribute to the art of cooking, but we guarantee that after turning the last page, readers will leave inspired by the great diversity of flavours and cultures in Canada. I am confident that my fellow Canadians will take great joy in preparing these recipes in their homes, and I take pride in knowing that this cookbook will contribute to the cause of Hire Immigrants Ottawa, an initiative integral to fostering inclusion in the nation's capital. I hope that you will take this global, gastronomic tour along with us. Sylvain Perron Publisher Klorofil inc.
