“One of the biggest fans a Canadian farmer can have is Lynn Ogryzlo. Small in stature, she’s a giant in the culinary world – and her messaging is simple; support our farmers by eating locally” ~ Rita Demontis, Toronto Sun
“Culinary Activist and Tidings Contributor, Lynn Ogryzlo will be visiting Ontario farmers’ markets throughout the summer to promote her latest book, The Ontario Table… each Ontario-inspired recipe is accompanied by VQA, Ontario and fruit wine pairing suggestions, and beautiful colour photography.” ~ Aldo Parese, Tidings Magazine
“Lynn Ogryzlo knows how to tease the appetite with recipes like grilled cheese and asparagus sandwich. She is a household name in the Niagara region, as a food writer for Niagara This Week and founder of the Niagara Culinary Trail.” ~ Karen Davidson, The Grower
“The final line in the book, is “To be continued…”, words which attempt to plant the seed for buying into Ogryzlo’s belief local food is not a one off, not a weekend or single holiday event, rather an ongoing choice.” ~ Jeff Tribe, Tillsonburg News
“I would like to applaud the initiative and inspiration behind The Ontario Table $10 Challenge. By inviting every household in Ontario to spend $10 of its weekly grocery budget on local food, you have awakened citizens to the vital role they can play in building a sustainable agricultural future for our province.” ~ Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario
Your book is a wonderful representation of the bounty of our province – both our agriculture and the passionate people that grow our food. It’s full of useful tips, motivating thoughts, beautiful photos and great recipes – I’ve already started cooking from it!” ~ Rebecca LeHeup, Executive Director, Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance
To call them cookbooks is too trite. They are character studies of a soil, a region, a terrain, a people, a cuisine, even of a place in time. Brian J. E. VanDommele, BVD
“I would suggest that the name Ogryzlo, is becoming synonymous with excellence in capturing Ontario growing seasons and culinary exploration.” ~ Honourable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario
“The result of all this hard work is quite simply the best book on local food in Ontario that has ever been produced. Visually spectacular, full of inspired recipes, and written with a strong sense of purpose, this is one of those books that you can use as a cookbook, or enjoy as a good read outside the kitchen.” Steve Stacey, Local Come Lately
“I flipped through it was the quality of the food photography – absolutely stunning. I know that the format of this book will be a compelling reason to buy and share it. The stories about where the food originated, and the people who have mastered the art of producing and creating culinary delights makes it a wonderful and unique gift to celebrate local food and farmers.” ~ Tracy Lamb, Mopani Communications Inc
“We all know that good things grow in Ontario. As a passionate advocate for local food, Lynn Ogryzlo takes the time to teach readers how food gets from the farm to the plate. Her book, The Ontario Table is a great way to learn about Ontario’s farmers and local food” Honourable Carol Mitchell, former Minister of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs
