Canadians at Table: A Culinary History of Canada

[maxmillan]

I thought this book is pertinent enough to mention it in the Vancouver thread.

Here's a little review by an enthusiast:

This sounds quite good, I'll check it out. I'd also recommend " A Century of Canadian Home Cooking" from, believe it or not, Canadian Living Magazine.

I don't really dig the home-ec vibe of the magazine, but this book is a keeper....lots of history, lots of really cool old recipes, (excellent recipes for us food luddites), and great old pictures. It's out of print, but I found a copy on eBay for my daughter. She wanted mine, and I would not part with it.

I love food history. This is one I'll have to check out. Thanks for the post to make me aware of it..

If you like food history- check any topics to do with early trading posts- they were the early grocery stores and farms.
