Critics Review
“This book is an absolute masterpiece, hands-down the best non-fiction Canadian food book I’ve read. The reporting is as deep and intelligent—and to me, at least, as eye-popping—as any you’ll find, and Kuitenbrouwer’s storytelling … is just bloody glorious… . I was just wowed and enchanted (and if we’re honest here, insanely jealous) with every page. This thing should be on every single food-loving Canadian’s shelf.” —Chris Nuttal-Smith, via Instagram“Peter Kuitenbrouwer draws on this rich well of personalities to create an informative, entertaining account of one of the country’s most iconic natural resources… . Fair warning: reading may also induce cravings for maple-flavoured treats.” —Winnipeg Free Press
