The Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia is famed for its spectacular seacoast, lush farmland, and fertile soil, which nourish an abundance of produce, livestock, and seafood. It is no wonder, then, that the Valley is home to a profusion of skilled chefs who take their inspiration from the region's bountiful harvest.

Annapolis Valley Tastes celebrates the landscapes and natural flavours that have made the Valley famous by combining breathtaking full-colour photos of the region with tantalizing recipes from local restaurants such as Tempest, Cocoa Pesto, and Blomidon Inn. Showcasing a diverse array of dishes that embrace local ingredients and tastes, such as pumpkin chili, farm chicken with Nova Scotia Riesling and chanterelles, and peach blueberry crumble pie, Annapolis Valley Tastes is an invitation to bring the brilliant sights, smells, and flavours of the Valley home to your kitchen.
