Culinary Landmarks is a definitive history and bibliography of Canadian cookbooks from the beginning, when La cuisinière bourgeoise was published in Quebec City in 1825, to the mid-twentieth century. 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. The 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.

Excerpt from An All-Western Conservation Cook Book: Containing All the Tables, Recipes and Important Items Discussed in Aunt Prudence's Kitchen Department of the Evening Telegram Dear Friends: Of recipe books and columns of recipes in the newspapers and magazines, just now there truly are no end, so that I would not have the courage to present anything more along the usual' lines for your atten tion, but I believe we have something very helpful, as I know we have something absolutely new to present, in a plan for accurate pricing of all recipes, with other helpful ideas. My desire is to start a new depart ment, not of scientific cooking to teach all women the new domestic science and cooking school ideas of cooking, valuable as these are, for these are now so well presented.
