From the acclaimed and multi award-winning chef J-C Poirier of St. Lawrence restaurant comes a stunning, lyrical cookbook with over 125 recipes that celebrate the classic dishes of Québec and France.
WHERE THE RIVER NARROWS is a loving homage to Chef Jean-Christophe (J-C) Poirier's home province, Québec—the phrase is a direct translation of the Algonquin word "kebec," describing the area around Québec City where the St. Lawrence River is hemmed in by towering cliffs. Québec is where J-C's love for the nostalgic beauty of French cooking began. In his debut cookbook, he shares recipes from both cultures, Québécois and French, and the intersections between them—whether from the menu of his Michelin-starred Vancouver restaurant, St. Lawrence, or his kitchen at home.
