Welcome to The Ontario Table’s ezine, $10 Challenge: A Year of Eating Local.

Created as a complement to the Canadian bestselling cookbook to walk foodies through a year of eating local, this ezine will introduce you to more sources of local food and also to the associations that look after the development and promotion of local food groups.

December is a month for celebrating and feasting. It’s a time for looking back at the amazing accomplishments and forward to a brand-new year of possibilities. In this issue we celebrate with fun recipes like Duck Poutine and Bacon Meatloaf Muffins, and feast elegantly with Ice Syrup Brined Pork Chops and Grilled Duck Breasts with Icewine Apricots. From all of us at The Ontario Table, we wish you happy holidays filled with lots of love and a prosperous, happy and healthy new year.  Join us and make 2013 a banner year for local foods. Use The Ontario Table $10 Challenge ezine to eat along with the season.
