Since 1922, Agriculture has brought international attention to Toronto in November, as farmers, producers, commodity groups, and homesteaders arrive, to exhibit their very best agricultural products and livestock. Competition is steep, but food education is a primary focus at RAWF. Many features meld seamlessly into Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum. This year, Royal planners invited Professional Home Economists, Registered Dietitians, Food Educators, Researchers, Farmers, Authors and Consumers to discuss food perspectives on Nov. 7th. The invigorating event was promoted as The Royal Food & Nutrition Forum and held on-site.

Mary Carver, P.H.Ec. of the OHEA Board presents the buyer Mark Groen of Monsanto Canada with his copy of the book which celebrates foods that we grow, raise or produce in Canada.

"When I was growing up in Trinidad, my Mom served a lentil stew as a side dish that was a family favourite. I had no idea then how versatile and nutritious lentils were or that they grew in Canada. Now I have my own signature lentil dish that I prepare quite regularly in the early fall; it's especially great at barbeques."-Rosemarie  Photo by Shauna Lindzon, RD of shaunalindzon.com

Filled with 160 PHEc tested recipes, Homegrown is the perfect holiday gift for everyone! "Your family will love this tangy slaw and (if you don't tell them) they won't even know that they are eating Brussels sprouts; they'll think it's cabbage."-Amy  From OHEA's own, Homegrown! Recipe by: Bridget Wilson, PHEc "The herbed stuffing adds wonderful flavour to this attractive pork roast. Serve with roasted vegetables and potatoes for a hearty meal."-Bridget  By: Joyce Parslow, P.H.Ec. (with permission from Canada Beef) Excerpted from Homegrown, by Mairlyn Smith. Reprinted with permission of Whitecap Books, 2015. “Medium ground beef makes a juicy burger for the barbecue. Grilling will reduce the total fat in a burger patty by about a third, leaving you with a tender juicy burger full of flavour. You can’t tell if a burger is done by cooking to colour, so use a digital instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into each patty to confirm. Using a food thermometer is how chefs do it—it’s not a geek tool! Cook burgers to 160°F (71°C)—just remember, ‘Your burger’s done at 71.’” —Joyce  |
