Antique Blue Ribbon Cook Book Prepared for Everyday Use in Canadian Homes

Great antique Blue Ribbon Cook Book. Nice cook book that may be of assistance to the women of Canada. Neither time nor expense has been spared to make it comprehensive and up-to-date. The recipes have all been tried and tested, and have been chosen with a view to the various requirements of Canadian [depression-era] households." - Foreword. Elizabeth Driver provides a detailed description of this fifteenth edition at M7.8 of her "Culinary Landmarks". She explains that, although the copyright page states a date of 1905, the actual printing date was circa 1936. 1939 pencil inscription. Pencilled notes inside and through out. The binding is a bit loose. Above-average wear and soiling, as expected for a multi-generationally trusted family cookbook. A worthy example this wonderful artifact of Canadian cookery history.
