My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have not spent much time in British Columbia, but having lived in Alaska years ago, I definitely made multiple trips through it. I can clearly remember the breathtaking scenery, and now I get to enjoy their delicious food through this gorgeous book.

There is so much to love in this cookbook, from the delightful recipes to ingenious tips and tricks. I love to make my own bone broth to use, but I’d never though of using flexible muffin tins to freeze it into more manageable portions. Love this idea! Or how about Garlic Poached in Oil. You can use the garlic just as you would fresh garlic in recipes, and the now flavored oil is perfect for salad dressings, bruschetta, etc.

As for the recipes themselves, they’re divided by season and from there they are divided into savory and sweet. We’re heading into winter, so it’s a perfect time for a Rustic Beef Stew–soooo good! Or how about what is probably my favorite recipe in this book, Chocolate Hazelnut Tarts for dessert?

Baked Eggs are popular in my house, and these kick it up a notch with a multitude of seasoned fillings to choose from. Gougeres (Cheese Puffs) are amazing and well loved at my house as well. Of course, for comfort food, you can’t miss with classic Chicken Pot Pies.

British Columbia From Scratch is an absolutely delightful book. I’ve loved reading it and cooking from it and I am more than happy to recommend it. Give it a try–I’m sure you’ll love it!

I received a copy of this book from Whitecap Books for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
