Christmas around the world

Tourtiere Dianna Ashworth

Inspired by a recipe from chef Robert Bourassa (of Café Henry Burger in Quebec), this French-Canadian meat pie is a must for Dianna and her family, who live in Ottawa. She says, ‘It’s an honour to celebrate the heritage of my grandmothers with this traditional meat pie. It feels and smells like Christmas when it’s cooking in the oven.’
