Irish Poutine with Haddie Bites

Growing up and living in the Outaouais, I’m fortunate to be surrounded by hidden gems like micro brasseries, maple syrup producers, and award-winning cheese producers. When I sit down and read some of my local bistro menus, I can't help but think about all the creativity that went into those recipes using our local treasures.
