About the Book

An invitation to reconnect over food, Gather, Savor, Share presents 80 recipes from the staff of Aina for the family meal that is eaten together before service begins. In the fast-paced world of fine dining restaurants, the family meal is a sanctuary. It's the moment when the entire staff sets aside the relentless demands of service to share a meal. Far from being just sustenance, it's a ritual that fuels creativity, fosters connection, and sustains the heartbeat of the kitchen. At the acclaimed restaurant Aina, in Ottawa, Ontario, these meals are more than a break; they're a canvas where flavors and traditions are shared, and personalities come alive. With clever, pro restaurant tips and 80 recipes that balance bold reinventions and comforting classics, you'll be inspired to transform the hub of your home into a fine-dining kitchen with family meals elevated to unforgettable feasts. Whether it's a hot bowl of Acadian Chowder, flavour-packed Caribbean Curry Beef, or smoky Lamb Birria Tacos, each recipe brims with personality, guiding you to explore exciting flavor combinations, masterful techniques, and sustainable practices you can share with the ones you love. With stunning photography, inspirational menus, practical tips, and guidance on how to stock your kitchen like a chef, Gather, Savor, Share is perfect for home cooks and food enthusiasts alike.
