Three Recipes From P.E.I. That Will Transport You To The Coast
From the people who know P.E.I.’s food scene best, farmers and fishers from all over the province got together and created the new cookbook, Canada’s Food Island. This cookbook features twists on the province’s staples such as Grilled Lemon and Prosecco Mussels and Steak with Lobster Dill Cream Sauce. The pages are packed with seafood, potatoes and everything else you could want from the little island.
Scroll down for three PEI recipes you need to try!
Oyster + Mushroom Toasts
There’s a tradition in P.E.I. to have big potlucks around the holiday season. This dish, with its bite-sized mushrooms and oysters, will definitely be a crowd pleaser.

Potato Charcuterie
Need we say more? Rather than loading up a board with meat and cheese at your next gathering, offer up this delicious dish made up of five different styles of potatoes and sauces.

Lobster + Mussel Chowder with Baby Red Potatoes
This recipe really is the pièce de résistance of P.E.I. cuisine. Combining two types of seafood with red potatoes that represent the province’s red soil, this is a must-try fall soup.
