Trough interviews with twenty-eight of the city’s most important chefs, restaurateurs, importers and Italian cuisine icons, Buon Ap- petito Toronto! gathers together the people that set the standard for an Italian culinary experience and changed the culture of a great city. Buon Appetito Toronto! is about the meeting point of Italian food and Ital- ian-Canadian creativity and the development of a culture that is about conviv- iality and lifestyle. It is about a city that has embraced the values of simplicity and beauty, with passion and dedication, marrying them at the altar of taste. With Buon Appetito Toronto!

  • Negotiating Toronto's Vietnamese
    EATING VERSUS SELLING AUTHENTICITY: NEGOTIATING TORONTO’S VIETNAMESE CULINARY LANDSCAPE BY NANCY HUYNH A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE PROGRAM IN THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY IN CONFORMITY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY KINGSTON, ONTARIO, CANADA OCTOBER 2012 COPYRIGHT © NANCY HUYNH, 2012 ABSTRACT Despite the popularity of Vietnamese cuisine in Toronto, there is limited understanding of how this culinary cuisine is socially constructed through its consumption and production. This thesis research examines the production of Toronto’s Vietnamese culinary landscape with the aim of unpacking the discursive power relations between consumers’ and purveyors’ construction of authenticity through the processes of racialization. It also highlights the identities created through racialized consumption and production practices, and how such identity constructions are constitutive of Vietnamese culinary culture. To this aim, consumers were surveyed and in‐depth interviews were conducted with owners and managers. Results from the fieldwork process demonstrated that both consumers and producers construct authenticity and images of Vietnamese culture for their own benefits but had different, and sometimes confounding, understandings of how such constructions are interpreted and practiced. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Audrey Kobayashi for her advisement through the research and writing processes of this thesis. Her commitment and mentorship helped me through the up and downs of each stage of the Master’s program and was influential to my completion of this thesis. A thank you to my examining committee, Dr. Heather Nicol, Dr. Laura Cameron, Dr. Petra Fachinger, and Dr. Audrey Kobayashi, for their helpful and thought‐provoking comments, questions, and suggestions.

  • Festivals, Festival Foods, and Dietary Acculturation: a Journey of Hybridization and Identity Formation for Chinese International Students in Ottawa
    FESTIVALS, FESTIVAL FOODS, AND DIETARY ACCULTURATION: A JOURNEY OF HYBRIDIZATION AND IDENTITY FORMATION FOR CHINESE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN OTTAWA By Shihan Liu A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication and Media Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © Shihan Liu, 2019 ABSTRACT Through participant observation at the 2018 Ottawa Night Market Chinatown and interviews with fifteen post-secondary Chinese international students in Ottawa about their dietary acculturation, this research aims to answer the following questions: How does hybridity play out in Chinese students’ dietary acculturation? What are the impacts of festivals and festival foods on hybridization and identity formation? The findings suggest that Chinese students do become more “hybrid” in their food practices, but this is less so from incorporating Canadian food habits, and more a result of increased consumption of various Chinese regional cuisines and Asian cuisines. However, becoming more hybrid does not weaken the participants’ Chinese identity; rather they retain it through attending the Night Market, celebrating traditional Chinese festivals, and maintaining cultural beliefs related to food choices, health and nutrition. This study suggests that hybridization involves multi-cultural and multi-dimensional influences, and confirms that hybridization is distinct from identity formation. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey of dietary acculturation and ethnic identity all started about three years ago when I met Dr. Irena Knezevic in her Food and Communication class. The short documentary that I made for the class assignment named One Day gave an insight into the lives of two Chinese students, who were also my friends at Carleton.

    Required Report: Required - Public Distribution Date: April 01,2020 Report Number: IT2020-0008 Report Name: Food Processing Ingredients Country: Italy Post: Rome Report Category: Food Processing Ingredients Prepared By: Ornella Bettini Approved By: Frederick Giles Report Highlights: The Italian food-processing industry continues to be highly fragmented, characterized by a growing consolidation of smaller companies. Progress in food technology, marketing innovations, “Made in Italy” products, and exports of finished food products have all contributed to Italy’s increasing demand for food ingredients. Italian consumers continue to favor bakery products, dairy products, processed meat and seafood, and snacks. Locally grown, but also ethnic, vegan and vegetarian alternatives, “free from” products (e.g. gluten, lactose, or sugar free), and super foods attract more and more local consumers. Italy depends almost entirely on raw material imports, most of which come from other EU countries.
