"Where the River Narrows is a loving homage to Chef Jean-Christophe (J-C) Poirier’s home province, Quâebec--the phrase is a direct translation of the Algonquin word "kebec," describing the area around Quâebec City where the St. Lawrence River is hemmed in by towering cliffs. Quâebec is where J-C’s love for the nostalgic beauty of French cooking began. In his debut cookbook, he shares recipes from both cultures, Quâebâecois and French, and the intersections between them--whether from the menu of his Michelin-starred Vancouver restaurant, St. Lawrence, or his kitchen at home."--Publisher.
