From the 1930s to the 1950s, Kate Aitken was a role model for millions of Canadian women who listened to her national radio show, clipped her recipes from the Montreal Standard, where she was Women's Editor, and purchased her books and pamphlets on everything from cooking and childcare to travel and etiquette. Kate Aitken's Canadian Cook Book was first published in 1945 and became an instant bestseller. In Kate's own words, the book is "a handy, inexpensive guide to healthful daily living." Along with delicious recipes for appetizers, baked goods, canning, main dishes, salads, soups, and quick lunches and suppers, she provides a wealth of information on nutrition, "Notes to Brides", and helpful hints on cooking. Considered the "Martha Stewart" of her day, Kate Aitken's practical recipes endure to delight Canadian families today.

Known as the first truly Canadian cookbook, this faithful replica of the original edition is essential for cooks anywhere. The plucky spirit of 19th-century Canadian heroine Laura Secord permeates this collection, which was sponsored by the Laura Secord Candy Shops and created by the Canadian Home Economics Association to commemorate the Canadian centennial in 1967. Inspired by our national history and identity, it was destined to become an instant classic. The regional and cultural diversity of Canadian cooking in the '60s is wonderfully captured in these recipes: Fricandeau (a veal and pork loaf) Malpeque Oyster Stew Holubtse (Ukrainian stuffed cabbage rolls) Glazed Back Bacon Hot Cross Buns Blueberry Grunt Maplewood Doughnuts Quebec Sugar Pie Grape Jelly

Think back to your favourite Christmas food memory. Perhaps it was the first turkey you dressed and cooked yourself, or the sweet smell of cranberries ladled onto your plate, or the mouth-watering anticipation of finally getting to taste your grandparent's signature pie. First published in 1979, Rose Murray's Canadian Christmas Cooking likely had a hand in those holiday food memories. A bestseller for over 20 years, this affordable guide to holiday meals has been dog eared, lovingly annotated and shared among families in Canada as a must-have Christmas cookbook. At the time of its release, Rose Murray's Canadian Christmas Cooking was called "a tribute to holiday tastes from history, from across the country and around the world" by the Regina Leader-Post. And perhaps the Hamilton Spectator summed it up best, when it wrote, "No nonsense, no picture, just good recipes." Back in print for the first time in over 10 years, this revised and updated edition has all the simplicity and affordability of the original as well as Rose's tweaks for modern kitchens and a few new favourite foods. The A-Z cookbook of traditional Christmas dinner, Rose Murray's Canadian Christmas Cooking is certain to inspire a new generation of home chefs.
