Gold Winner of a 2022 PubWest Book Design Award
This beautifully photographed collection of recipes and restaurant
profiles is a loving tribute and valuable resource for exploring
Saskatchewan's culinary landscape.
In this celebration of Saskatchewan cuisine, Naomi Hansen pairs recipes
from the province's best-loved restaurants with profiles of the chefs
and families behind those recipes. Only in Saskatchewan captures the
mix of culinary influences--Ukrainian, Indigenous, Italian, Vietnamese,
Indian, Persian, Dutch, Mexican, and more--that come together in the
land of the living skies.
Featuring the north, centre, and south of the province (with dedicated
chapters for Saskatoon and Regina), Naomi showcases historic restaurants
like the Yvette Moore Gallery Café in Moose Jaw, Baba's Homestyle
Perogies in Saskatoon, and Italian Star Deli in Regina, as well as newer
favourites like The Dam Smokehouse in Nipawin, Free Bird in Lumsden, and
Ayden Kitchen & Bar in Saskatoon.
The recipes range from ambitious desserts like Mable Hill's Bourbon
Brown Butter Cake with Sour Cherry Topping and Hot Sour Cream Glaze and
Golden Grain Bakery's Bismarks, to everyday staples like The Rolling
Pin's Borscht and Houston Pizza's All Dressed Pizza, to simpler
pleasures like Wolf Willow's Smokey Stovetop Popcorn and Harvest
Eatery's Whole Lotta Rosie Cocktail, each one a reflection of the
generosity of spirit Saskatchewanians are known for. With food and
landscape photography by Garrett Kendel, and a handy sourcing guide to
Saskatchewan suppliers, the book is at once a beautiful tribute and
valuable resource for exploring the province's culinary scope.
