Featured Recipe: Dragon’s Breath Blue Cheese Corn Bake
This recipe is featured in Nova Scotia Cookery, Then & Now – a cookbook showcasing modern interpretations of heritage Nova Scotia recipes.
“In Native culture, squash, corn, and beans are three sisters. We do a lot with corn at the Centre. It’s a staple. As a chef I love corn. Basically it looked like a cream-corn dish so we did a corn gratin with panko and blue cheese. We tried to do something a little more modern and use as many local products as possible such as Dragon’s Breath blue cheese.”
