normal from western
Atlantic Canada and
eastern Quebec out through
northern Ontario and the
northern Prairies and into
Nunavut, the Northwest
Territories, and the Yukon.
A series of back-to-back
storms from mid-December
to late January could leave
Atlantic Canada snowed
under for several weeks.
WHETHER SNOW, sleet, or
rain arrives will depend on
location, location, location!
WITH SLIGHTLY aboveaverage temperatures
throughout the season in
all but the northernmost
portions of the Prairies,
winter storm clouds may
sometimes bring rain
or freezing rain across
the nation*s midsection.
However, this doesn*t mean
that snow is completely
out of the forecast: Major
snowstorms are predicted
for the Prairies in late
November, mid-January,
and early March.
THIS WINTER*S white-and-
wet forecast will see colderthan-average temperatures
from western Quebec into
southern Ontario. While
storms throughout the
season are expected to
bring plenty of rain, freezing
rain, sleet, and flurries,
snowfall will be below
average overall.
THE ONLY PLACE in Canada
that won*t have many
storms to weather is British
Columbia, which should
expect below-average
precipitation and aboveaverage temperatures
throughout the season.

Whether fall, winter, spring, or summer, each season brings its own
bounty of flavors and benefits. Not only do fresh fruit and vegetables
taste better in season, but also they are often more nutritious than
produce that has been stored for weeks or even months. Choose and
use each season*s best with a little help from these recipes. As the
year rolls along, be sure to check out additional seasonal recipes by
searching for key ingredients at Cooking.

Henry Su, a Canadian-born Chinese farmer. He grew up on his immigrant parents* farm in Simcoe and
while a teenager enjoyed a career as a
competitive figure skater.
Figure eights behind him, he*s continuing the family brand started 30
years ago; today, he nurtures 7 to 10
acres of eggplants (aka aubergines)
and several more of zucchini.
Producing eggplants with perfectly glossy purple skin is a summerlong challenge. As Su explains, windwhipped leaves can easily scratch
the fruit*s complexion, so about midseason, the lower leaves are removed
by hand to ensure the produce*s appeal to the diverse population of the
Toronto area.
While Italians seem to favor thickskin Sicilian varieties of eggplant,
Asians prefer the thin, violet-color
Chinese long varieties or round,
midnight-purple Indian eggplants for
their softer flesh. These are also in
demand by the green grocers and res-

did until the COVID-19 virus struck.
Restaurants closed. Neighborhood
stores had little foot traffic. Zucchini
and aubergines had no takers. Su
was skating on thin ice.
※In 2019, the buyers said, &We can
take all of the zucchini that you can
grow.* In 2020, we couldn*t give it
away,§ says Su wistfully.
While pandemic economics saw
eggplants and zucchini fall out of favor for food businesses, Su continues
to hope that consumers will try more
adventuresome ingredients in home
cooking. Asian eggplant is an appealing option.
※Eggplant is the perfect vessel for
flavor,* says Su, who remains determined to carry on.
After all, one bad year is a blip in
the history of the eggplant, which has
been grown in China since at least the
T*ang dynasty〞A.D. 618. Undaunted,
Su plans to perpetuate its legacy.
