This blog series will tell these stories while celebrating the Bosc family's commitment to sustainability and giving back.One of my favourite things about cooking is sitting around a table with my friends and watching them enjoy the food I have made for them. While I will very often make them a new dish to try when we get together, I am very aware of each of their favourites. Ilana... More »

Canadian East Eats: Ottawa

Canadian East Eats: Ottawa
 The final leg of our Canadian East Eats journey had us tasting our way through the nation's capital. Staying in the lovely Fairmont Chateau Laurier, located along the Rideau Canal and just steps from Parliament Hill, we were in the perfect location to checkout all the city had to offer. While we walked in from the parking lot the kids oohed and aahed at the pictures along the wall that showed the many celebrities and royalty that had visited before them.Shortly after our drive in from Montreal we headed down the street for dinner at The Courtyard Restaurant. Chef Michael Hay... More »

Canadian East Eats: Travelling with Kids

Canadian East Eats: Travelling with Kids
Travelling over 5000 kilometres in 18 days with kids was definitely the biggest hurdle on our Canadian East Eats trip.Things that I never have to think about at home were suddenly at the forefront: laundry, clothing, bathroom breaks for girls and boys. All of these combined made travelling quite an experience. For the most part we prepared for and met these challenges head on. By far the biggest challenge though was how to entertain three kids through long car rides, evenings in hotel rooms, and three-hour long ferry crossings.My kids were real troopers through the whole thing. Other than a couple of incidents... More »

Canadian East Eats: Moncton to Montreal

 We crossed Confederation Bridge from PEI towards New Brunswick and began our trip home for Canadian East Eats. We still had plenty to see and do ahead of us, but would now be following back along the original route that brought us to the East coast. Our first stop was in Moncton, NB. We visited Shediac, the lobster capital of the world and home to Parlee beach, which boasts some of the warmest waters north of Virginia.  Meeting up with Shediac Bay Cruises on one of their boats we learned all about the Acadian culture and its history with lobster...

Canadian East Eats: Prince Edward Island
 Before turning our car around to head back towards home our Canadian East Eats trip had us on the beautiful Prince Edward Island for three and half days. My wife Ali flew out to join us for the weekend, and we didn't slow our pace down for her one bit. After coming across on the ferry from Nova Scotia we checked into our hotel The Great George. It is comprised of a number of pretty townhouses and buildings that line the historic street in front of Province House, birthplace of Confederation. The brightly coloured heritage wood buildings are beautifully... More »
