On a wooden counter there is a deep dish tart pan with a light tan colored dough with darker flecks thanks to using unbalanced almond flour. The dough had obviously been pressed into the pan by hand as the finger impressions are visible. Next to it is a notebook with writing in pen on one side of the page and corrections in pencil on the other. In back there is a jar of deep yellow liquid that is partially melted brown butter, and a large metal mixing bowl with a wooden spoon where we can see more of the cake batter.

I never take photos of my mise en place, but figured I'd at least submit an "in progress" shot after I'd tidied up a bit.

As usual with me there have been _extensive_ modifications to the recipe, mostly to account for wanting to lower the amount of sugar.

Alas, no listen later was saved for Friday's shows, so here's the link to my sweet article about local honey...Plus, there's a hot honey recipe!

And the pre-Thanksgiving CBCKW food column is done! Starting on my turkey early and back to Poppy's in Waterloo for the Bonjourrr for my celebratory breakfast.

Some of the filling ingredients (granted, I was cooking as I went in this improvised recipe. Canadian sourced ingredients: coriander leaf, onions, local tomatoes when into the caned puree, and ground bison from Oakridge Acres (Ayr).

Four samosa frying in the kadai. My folding technique needs work (haha) but they are burnished and blistered. Pastry features Canadian wheat and sunflower oil.

Cooked samosas on a handmade sea blue and green tapas dish with swirly patterns. The samosas are burnished and bubbly. The open one shows the filling of meat and potatoes (from my friend's farm in Plattsville). In the distance is a dish with coriander-mint chutney and tamarind-date chutney.

Each year, I make a dish specifically for #FoodDayCanada.

For the past few years, I consciously showcased foods by people who've made Canada their home.

This year, it's a 3rd culture dish: bison samosas. Details in alt text.
