A Heritage Lower Saint Lawrence Project (2024 – 2026)
How does the food we prepare reflect the places we come from, and connect us to the places we end up?
What do our tables tell us about culture, history, community, identity, environment?
How do we tell our stories through the recipes we remember?
In 2025, Heritage Lower Saint Laurence conducted eleven English-language interviews with residents, to get a taste of the richness and diversity of the communities here – through food!
From Irish pancakes to Nepalese momo; from locally foraged herbal tisane to Steamed Rice with Chinese sausage; from Mexican enchiladas to Lemon Curd Cookies; from scones to shortbread to skirrets to seal steaks, we visited La Pocatiére, Kamouraska, St Flavie, Rimouski, and Métis-sur-Mer, tasting as we went.
The videos – and recipes – are all available through the Heritage Lower Saint Lawrence website. We hope that you enjoy.
This project was funded by the Government of Canada.
