Stratford has set benchmarks in theatre with one of its main attractions, the Stratford Shakespearean Festival, which draws 500,000 to the city each year. Fortunately for the chefs and food producers in the area the appreciation for quality that these visitors have for theatre extends to what they eat, too. As a result, a cosmopolitan food scene featuring imagination and craftsmanship has evolved in the area.
From artisan-style breads baked at the Breadwork's Bakery to the retro desserts sold at Honeytree Bakery, to the half dozen or more excellent restaurants that offer meals created by master chefs using regionally produced delicacies, you'll find many world-class examples of quality food in this small town. Stratford cooks stand by the philosophy that the fruits of their labour are only as good as the effort and raw ingredients that go into making it.
Try your hand at Stratford-style cooking with this menu, inspired by the creative cooks who have made Stratford a destination not only for theatre buffs but also for lovers of fine food.
