Our city is rich in cultural diversity ,

and immigrants to Canada have brought new flavours that influence our food landscape . Breathe new life into a family feast with side dishes that blend familiar and far away flavours . We invited chefs Edward Lam of Yujiro and Michele Di Fonte of Monticchio to pull from the traditions of Japan and Italy , to bring new flavours to the table and make your holiday dinner spread a globe-hopping affair .
