Over the course of more than ten years Elizabeth Driver researched every cookbook published within the borders of present-day Canada, whether a locally authored text or a Canadian edition of a foreign work. Every type of recipe collection is included, from trade publishers' bestsellers and advertising cookbooks, to home economics textbooks and fund-raisers from church women's groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe entries for over 2,200 individual titles are arranged chronologically by their province or territory of publication, revealing cooking and dining customs in each part of the country over 125 years. Full bibliographical descriptions of first and subsequent editions are augmented by author biographies and corporate histories of the food producers and kitchen-equipment manufacturers, who often published the books. Driver's excellent general introduction sets out the evolution of the cookbook genre in Canada, while brief introductions for each province identify regional differences in developments and trends. Four indexes and a 'Chronology of Canadian Cookbook History' provide other points of access to the wealth of material in this impressive reference book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Driver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802047904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802047908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.34h x 8.75w x 2.40d","brand":"Elizabeth Driver","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065133674751,"sku":"9780802047908","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b632a01-ea3c-47b3-ac65-60abb1065665.jpg?v=1768673214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culinary-landmarks-elizabeth-driver-9780802047908","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
