Some of our ancestors, particularly our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters, were the gatekeepers of some of the greatest culinary experiences in our lives. Many meals were simple and unrefined taking just a short while to prepare, while others were days in the process. From these small, sometimes cluttered, kitchens came the armoas that penetrated our senses, soothed us while we slept, and comforted us with their tastes. Today, they remind us of "from whence we came".

Nothing short of a home cooked meal makes us feel more secure, warm and comfortable; this is the cooking of our French Canadian heritage. We will always have in our hearts the delightful sounds, sights, tastes and most of all, the "perfume" of our grandmothers stove, to evoke the memories of days, long since passed, with our families. Along with all of the history and tradition these foods are yet another "link" to our heritage.
