Dairy Farmers of Ontario’s culinary brand, Savour Ontario, proudly presented Savour Ontario Outdoors, with recipes inspired by local food, Ontario dairy and the flavours of summer created in partnership with Ontario chefs across the province and paired with VQA Ontario wines.
Now, more than ever, the abundance of locally grown, raised and produced foods, from Ontario’s exquisite cheeses and fresh milk to the exceptional produce, proteins and wines that grace our tables, are treasures we need to celebrate and protect.
This is never more evident than when we source, prepare and enjoy local Ontario ingredients using slow, simple and enduring methods.The aroma of a grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with artisanal Ontario cheese sizzling in a cast iron skillet, just-opened foil wrapped packages of beautifully seasoned potatoes and buttery local vegetables or creamy hot chocolate poured into enamel mugs and topped with hand-whipped local cream are as much part of our memories as hikes through woodland trails, swims in pristine lakes or time spent listening to the birds in our own backyards.
This collection of outdoor cooking recipes, tips and food ideas was curated for everyone—backyard foodies, provincial park campers and seasoned outlanders alike. Featuring recipes and thoughtful content from some of Ontario’s most fascinating and beloved chefs, we hope you’ll explore what’s inside and take it with you on your next journey to the heart of Algonquin, the forests of Northwestern Ontario, your backyard fire pit or your condominium balcony.
Thank you for supporting local food, restaurants and the culinary craft that truly highlights the bounty of Ontario.
