Questions fréquentes

Where can I find international spices in Canada?

Most large Canadian grocery chains (Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys) carry common international spices. For specialty items, visit ethnic grocery stores — T&T for Asian ingredients, Adonis for Middle Eastern, and international aisles at Walmart and Costco. Bulk Barn is excellent for buying spices in small quantities.

Can I substitute ingredients in international recipes?

Many substitutions work well: coconut cream for coconut milk (dilute with water), Greek yogurt for heavy cream in Indian curries, lime for lemon in most Asian recipes. For hard-to-find items like lemongrass, most grocery stores now carry it fresh or as a paste in tubes.

Are these recipes authentic?

These recipes are adapted for Canadian home kitchens — they honour the original flavour profiles while using ingredients readily available across Canada. Where we've made substitutions, we note the original ingredient so you can use it if you have access.
