Today is Quebec Independence Day (also known as Saint Jean Baptiste) and all my friends and family ‘up north’ will be celebrating with fireworks, food and adult libations. Here are 5 traditional Quebec dishes to get everyone in the mood for a very happy holiday.

• Tourtiere du Lac St Jean (Meat Pie from Quebec)
• Tarte au Sucre (Brown Sugar Pie)
• Sucre a la Crème a L’Erable (Maple Butterscotch Fudge)
• Cretons du Quebec (Meat Spread/Pâté)
• Sauce a la Viande (Meat Sauce)

Bonne Saint Jean a tous!
