The comeback of Canadian cuisine is definitely here to stay. With both Google and YouTube searches and Instagram hashtags trending upwards over the past five years, the interest in Canadian comforts only continues to grow as more and more people ask what it means to be and eat Canadian — and the unique flavours that define it coast-to-coast.



Now more than ever, Canadians are mixing up their balanced, healthy appetite with guilt-free indulgence in classic comforts. This year saw more and more Canadians embrace the rising trend of going vegan, all without giving up their favourites. For Canadians craving pasta, curry, soup, and quick breakfast fixes, it was all about choosing healthy, vegan alternatives. Adding a vegan twist meant consuming a lot more lean and green, infused with the same flavours and textures they love about meat, but without the fat, calories, and guilt. Thanks to these trends, we know Canadians are all about a balance of good food, good times, and good health.
