Canada

Ranging from the Atlantic to Pacific Oceans and northward well above the Arctic Circle to the Arctic Ocean, Canada is the world’s second largest country. Yet its population density of 9 people per square mile is one of the lowest. The great majority of its population dwells in the lower latitudes in the major cities just above the United States. Canada is made up of 10 provinces and three territories. Though the country’s political and culinary existence has been influenced largely by Native, English, and French cultures, a steady flow of immigration from all points of the globe continues to broaden Canada’s culinary landscape. Canada is well known for its natural bounty: berries, salmon, wild rice, fiddlehead ferns, wild mushrooms, caribou, and of course maple syrup. More than 80 percent of the world’s maple syrup comes from Canada. Canada’s wine industry is coming on strong in British Columbia and Ontario. Curiously, Canadians eat more donuts than any other nation on earth. With more doughnut shops per capita than anywhere, it’s not surprising that Canadians are also big coffee drinkers.

Whipped Cream Cake II

Reviewed on Dec. 4, 2008 by ekatiemo
This is an amazingly smooth and light white cake. Although I was hesitant to try it and thought I would waste my heavy cream, I am glad I went for it. This is my new staple recipe for white cake... I just know that whoever tastes it will be dying to know what makes it so velvety smooth.

Pastitsio III

Reviewed on Dec. 4, 2008 by DetectiveL
I found that this was a little bland--I really like strong flavours--and would have added more of the spices. My husband and son liked it very much though.

Costa Rican Coffee Panna Cotta with Bittersweet Chocolate-Rum Sauce

Reviewed on Dec. 4, 2008 by DetectiveL
I think that the rum flavour is too strong, and I couldn't taste the coconut milk at all. I would probably reduce the rum and compensate with more milk next time. However, the texture of this is lovely--smooth and light--even though I messed up at first and had to add more gelatin for it to set.
