Fort Chipewyan Traditional Cookery
Fort Chipewyan Historical Society
Founded in 1788, Fort Chipewyan, Alberta’s oldest community, occupies a special place in the province’s culinary heritage. That heritage, celebrated in this book, was reliant on game. Sweet & spicy bear, caribou stew, muskrat fry, and roasted porcupine are a few of the ways to indulge your wild side. The 26 “stepping stones” scattered through the book offer cooking hints, tips to live by, and facts about Fort Chipewyan. Coil bound, 92 pp. $12.95.


Heirloom Cooking with the Brass SistersHeirloom Cooking with the Brass Sisters

Following on the heels of their Heirloom Baking with the Brass Sisters ($33.95), (which we loved I might add!) comes this homage to heritage cooking. Recipes have been gathered from handwritten recipes, also known as "living recipes" from the United States and Canada. Each decade from the late 1800's is represented and what a trip down memory lane/food history it is! Comfort food at its best. Hardcover, 285 pp. $33.95.


Culinary LandmarksCulinary Landmarks

Elizabeth Driver
A labour of love, more than twelve years in the making, Elizabeth Driver’s bibliography of Canadian cookbooks published between 1825 and 1949 offers a glimpse into the early domestic life of our country. Thought additives came along in the second half of the 20th century? Consider Parke’s Preservine. It was added to tomatoes and other canned fruits to prevent spoilage without altering the taste or colour! Then as now, women’s organizations produced many cookbooks but some of those organizations eg. the Women’s Institute are now almost extinct. In an age when home canning was a necessity, vinegar companies and the cookbooks they offered flourished. The entries are organized by province and within the province, by year. There are also sections for non-province specific, American, and British books. Ever meticulous, Driver created indexes by place-of-publication, name, and short title. This is a book to dip into for years to come and an invaluable research tool for generations to come. Hardcover, 1257 pp., $185.00.
