平特五不中

How would one describe Canadian cuisine? While 迟辞耻谤迟颈猫谤别, P.E.I mussels, f猫ves au lard and Saskatoon berry jam represent typical regional foods, new cultural hybrids such as sushi pizza, Lahmajoun "sandwiches" and Churrasco chicken now characterize Canadian cuisine as well.

In our nation of immigrants, multiple foodways form a distinctive and evolving repertoire that is neither hodgepodge nor smorgasbord. How we as Canadians procure, produce, cook, consume, and think about food creates and defines our cuisine.

平特五不中 is pleased to present CuiZine: The Journal of Canadian Food Cultures / Revue des cultures culinaires au Canada, a new peer-reviewed e-journal that aims to nourish intellectual exchanges on the subject of food in Canada from multicultural perspectives. A Montreal launch party will be held on Jan. 14 at 12 p.m. at 平特五不中鈥檚 Institute for the Study of Canada, 3463 Peel St., and a Toronto launch party will be held on Jan. 9 from 7-9 p.m. at The Healthy Butcher, 565 Queen St. W.

Destined for both academic and general audiences, CuiZine is an innovative academic forum for interdisciplinary discussions surrounding the diverse culinary cultures of Canada. It provides a venue for dynamic creative content on the subject, featuring original creative pieces such as poetry, short fiction, and visual essays on eating and cooking in Canada. Edited by Nathalie Cooke, Associate Dean (Research and Graduate Studies) of 平特五不中鈥檚 Faculty of Arts, and Lara Rabinovitch, doctoral candidate at New York University, CuiZine publishes in both English and French.

CuiZine emphasizes site-specific, regional food cultures from across the country, including historical examinations of first-generation immigrant foodways, nutritional analyses of children鈥檚 lunchboxes in neighbourhood schools, socio-economic studies of seal hunting, and literary analyses of the culture of Montreal smoked meat in Mordecai Richler's novels.

CuiZine will foster cross-cultural exchange and demonstrate the centrality of foodways to Canada鈥檚 evolving identity. In its inaugural issue, one of the things you will find is a video recipe for Canadian Shield Shortbread Cookies, a regional variation of a traditional Christmas culinary classic.

CuiZine is available online only, in partnership with Erudit (the multi-institutional publishing consortium comprising the Universit茅 de Montr茅al, the Universit茅 Laval and the Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al), and is published by the 平特五不中 University Library.
