SO MUCH TO SAVOUR

Many Alberta farmers and ranchers sell direct to consumers. You can drive right up to the farm, talk to the folks that work the land, and buy newly picked vegetables, farm fresh eggs, and beautiful cuts of locally raised meat from the people who till the soil and care for the livestock. Slow Food Southern Alberta offers a list of farms and ranches that are open to the public, but you can also find a great selection of local produce and meats at various markets across the region, such as Highwood Natural Foods in High River (highwoodnaturalfoods. com), Okotoks Natural Foods Market & Café (look for them on Facebook), and Harvest Haven Health just outside of Lethbridge (harvesthaven.com). Be sure to check out the seasonal farmers’ markets held in Lethbridge, Okotoks, Claresholm, and Coaldale. (albertamarkets.com)

If you don’t mind getting your hands a bit dirty, there is a bevvy of U-Pick properties across the region where you can collect your own fruits and veggies. You’ll find everything from fresh berries and ripe tomatoes, to beans, beets, cucumbers, squash, carrots, rhubarb and more. It’s a little bit of work, but a whole lot of fun. Visit pickyourown.org for a listing of U-Pick farms across Alberta. Another resource for finding local food is Alberta Farm Fresh (albertafarmfresh.com), an association dedicated to supporting the production of farm-to-market crops, herbs, meats, poultry, eggs and other specialty items.

Beyond the farm there are other mouthwatering ways to experience the unique flavour of southern Alberta. Cultural festivals abound, showcasing a great variety of ethnic foods that have been introduced to southern Alberta by people who have moved here from places far and wide.

Heritage Day is among the most popular culinary events on the calendar. Held in Lethbridge every August, the event takes patrons on a worldwide epicurean tour. Columbian, Polynesian, Jamaican, African, Hungarian, Indian, Chinese, and Latin American are just a few of the tantalizing food cultures that are typically represented.

Southern Alberta is a smorgasbord of fresh food and cultural flavours. A highway drive in any direction reveals farms as far as the eye can see, and immigrants from all over the world bring incredible diversity to the regional palate.

So Much to Savour

SO MUCH TO SAVOUR

The Southern Alberta Food & Beverage Expo is the region’s premiere food service and hospitality event. Held each year in January, the Expo showcases southern Alberta’s top restaurateurs and suppliers. Patrons wander leisurely from booth to booth, sampling the delicious foods and beverages that southern Alberta restaurants are known for. eatdrinkalberta.com

The Blackfoot Arts & Heritage Festival, held in Waterton each August is an event that celebrates all aspects of the Blackfoot culture, including a fantastic sampling of the many dishes and food items that are unique to the tribe. A celebration of aboriginal life, the festival incorporates Blackfoot dance, song, and art into the weekend as well.

Taber Cornfest is a renowned event that features one of southwest Alberta’s most sought after crops – the deliciously sweet and golden treat from the field that is fresh Taber corn. Why is it so good? A combination of abundant sunshine and sandy soils makes Taber corn sweeter and more flavourful than corn from anywhere else. In addition to endless

cobs of fresh corn, Taber Cornfest offers a complete weekend of family fun, including a full midway, pancake breakfast, live entertainment, fireworks, and a chili cook-off.

To taste more of what southern Alberta has to offer, look into Alberta Open Farm Days – a two-day event in August when more than 70 farmers and ranchers across the province open their gates to visitors, inviting them in for demonstrations, to share information and learn more about how our food is grown. Some of Alberta’s most talented chefs host a memorable series of farm-to-table culinary events over the weekend as well, using the freshest Alberta farm products. albertafarmdays.com

Street Food can be sensational. Around southwest Alberta you will find a variety of Food Trucks offering sweet and savoury experiences. Food trucks will be found around Lethbridge’s vibrant downtown and many festivals and events in the region. Food trucks change their location daily – follow them on Facebook or Twitter to find where they will be each day.

Pinot Grigio Pairs well with light fish dishes

Chardonnay Delicious with fish in a rich sauce

Dry Riesling A wonderful choice with sweet and spicy dishes

Champagne Perfect with salty foods

Dry Rose Complements cheesy dishes

Wine & Dine

When it comes to food and wine pairings choose the wine that will best compliment your food. Some dishes are easier to select with wine than others. Wine flavours are derived from specific components such as sugar, acid, fruit, tannin, and alcohol. Foods also have flavour such as fat, acid, salt and bitter. To make the most successful wine pairing consider complementary components, richness and textures.

Malbec A favourite with sweet and spicy BBQ

Cabernet Sauvignon Spectacular with red juicy meat

Merlot An excellent complement to chocolate

Sauvignon Blanc Pairs well with thick sauces and stews

Vidal Blanc Is great served with white sauces

Secrets for Salad in a Jar

Serving a salad in a Mason Jar is a great way to have lunch on the go. Here are a few tips to ensure your salad stays fresh.

• Place the dressing in the jar first. This ensures your salad ingredients do not get soggy.

• Next add a grain or protein. Any large items are good to add at this point as well.

• Add your favourite fixings. Cheese, raisins, nuts, apples all add to the salad’s texture and taste.

• Add leafy greens on top – always put them in last. When you turn the Mason jar over to place into a bowl, the greens will make the salad bed.

• Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

COOKING TIP: CHICKEN WINGS

Look for plump wings so they can be broiled, baked or deep fried. Toss your favourite sauce on the crispy wings once they are cooked. If you like crispy wings - cook them twice but let them cool slightly between cooking. Serve with your favourite dip. Have plenty of napkins handy! Enjoy.

Pizza Hut serves a lunch buffet Monday through Friday from 11:30am to 1:30pm. Hungry late evening? – Delivery is available until midnight.

The local Pizza Hut welcomes sport teams and supports local sport including the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Pizza Hut is a family atmosphere and has a menu for everyone. For your dining adventure you can even create your own pizza. Dive into chocolate heaven with the Chocolate Dunkers dessert.

Ask about our Early Week Specials! Delivery and carryout is available at three locations in Lethbridge.

Since 1974, this family owned and operated pizza and steakhouse has proudly offered amazing dishes. The locals know this is the place to dine in Lethbridge.

Luigi’s North takes care in preparing juicy steaks, gourmet pizza, tantalizing pastas and classic favourites.

Take-out and city wide delivery is available. Luigi’s offers a private banquet room and catering services for your special event.

MAKING PIZZA LIKE THE PROS!

Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees or higher. Tossing the dough is a quick and fun way to stretch the dough into the desired diameter.

Choose the toppings you love but keep them to only a handful of selections. Crust should be crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. Let your pizza cool a few minutes before cutting. Use a large chef knife for the best cut.

Enjoy the amazing smell that will emanate from your kitchen.

Crazy Cakes opened its doors in 2007 as the first and only specialty Cake Shop in Lethbridge. It resides in the historically designated Spudnut building, which was built in 1909. Except for 2000 – 2006, the tasty treat Spudnut has been made here since the 1940’s. If you like a doughnut, you will LOVE a Spudnut! Crazy Cakes is the only Canadian location that continues the tradition of the Spudnut. At 3:00am every Thursday, the neon Spudnut sign lights up announcing that the fryer is hot and the goody is being made.

At Crazy Cakes, you will be tempted by a delicious array of freshly made cupcakes, custom cakes, cheesecake, French macrons, homemade ice cream and seasonal treats.

GARDENING TIP

• Over watering is worse than under watering. It is easier to revive a dry plant than try to dry out drowned roots.

• A 5% increase in organic material can quadruples the soil’s ability to store water.

• Water your garden early in the morning to conserve moisture loss.

COOKING TIP

When selecting an avocado, choose one that is green and somewhat hard. Let ripen for a couple of days – the color will change when ripe and will slightly soften. Cut the avocado in half and then half again. Simply poke a knife in the side with the pit to remove. The peel will remove easily. Add to your favourite recipe, salad or sandwich.
