Our top recipes from coast to coast

By: Canadian Living

From glory bowls to hardy seafood chowder, we’ve highlighted our most popular recipes in nine major Canadian cities.

Vancouver, BC: The Glory Bowl

Named after a favourite ski bowl at Whitewater Ski Resort in Nelson, B.C., this dish embodies healthy, fun West Kootenay living. It features tofu, carrots, beets, spinach, almonds and brown rice.

Calgary, Alberta: The Ultimate Pizza Dough

This foolproof dough delivers the most amazing pizza crust you'll ever taste. The long rising time results in a lovely texture and extra-rich flavour. It's so easy to make and can be stretched into either a regular or thin-crust pizza.

Prince Albert, Saskatchewan: Stir-Fried Seafood Udon Noodles

For nights when you're low on time, udon noodles are a great ingredient to have on hand because there's no need to boil them in a saucepan; simply separate the noodles by hand, then add them directly to your stir-fry for a one-pan dinner that's ready in no time.

Winnipeg, Manitoba: Classic Roast Beef with Gravy

Family-favourite roast beef is a Sunday-dinner staple. Add this recipe to your repertoire, and you’ll find yourself coming back to it time and time again.

Toronto, Ontario: The Ultimate Beef Stew

This classic warm-you-up stew becomes even more comforting when made with well-marbled pot roast rather than the usual stewing beef. The fat melts slowly as it cooks, tenderizing the beef into juicy melt-in-your-mouth morsels. A slow finish in the oven gives the stew its rich, hearty texture.

St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador: Canada's Best Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

This moist carrot cake is welcome at birthdays, weddings, reunions and all special occasions.

Fredericton, New Brunswick: Classic Scalloped Potatoes

With a nice hint of garlic, these potatoes are a delicious addition to any meal and are much lighter than those with a cream-laden gratin. To slice them easily, cut a little piece off the bottom of each potato to stabilize it on the cutting board. Serve with your favourite baked fish or chicken.

Halifax, Nova Scotia: Seafood Chowder

Chock-full of a variety of seafood, fish and vegetables, this rich soup is inspired by a similar chowder served at the Masstown Market, near Truro, N.S. Enjoy a hearty bowlful with Buttermilk Biscuits.

Charlottetown, PEI: Maritime Seafood Chowder

Michael Smith, P.E.I.'s culinary ambassador, shared his favourite chowder recipe with us. Made with easy to find ingredients and fresh Maritime seafood, it's sure to become a favourite in your home too. The chowder can be made a day or two in advance and reheated to serve. In fact, the chowder actually benefits from a night in the refrigerator: The extra time allows the flavours to really come together.
