Presented by Lactalis Canada Foodservice, PEI Lobster & Quell

The Taste Canada cookbook panel is made possible and sponsored by Lactalis Canada Foodservice, PEI Lobster and Quell. Cookbooks do more than share recipes – they capture stories, preserve traditions, and celebrate cultural identity. Join a panel of chefs, authors, and storytellers as they explore how cookbooks have become powerful tools for sharing heritage, amplifying diverse voices, and deepening our connection to food.
