The Canadian Joy of Cooking?
A massive tome, sort of a Canadian version of The Settlement Cookbook by Mrs. Simon Kander, or the Rombauers' Joy of Cooking: a compilation of recipes from immigrant groups that settled across Canada, from China, Eastern Europe, and many other places. An interesting perspective on a subject very familiar to American cookbook readers. Much as Mrs. Kander's cookbook documents how arrivals at a Wisconsin settlement house cooked, Mrs. Allen-Gray worked for many years as the Canadian equivalent, in Calgary, at the Citizenship Council, and her book describes in great detail the foods that settlers to the different regions of Canada adapted to their new homes. A special book, uncommon. (Given the weight of this book, shipping costs may be higher than listed. Edith Rye will be happy to discuss shipping options for this title.)
