The Essential Cooking Resource,
By Mrs Jane A Hughes (Annandale, Prince Edward Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canadian Cook Book: (Hardcover)
I entered amazon.ca to try to find a replacement for my battered, worn and much-used copy of Nellie Lyle Pattison's Canadian Cook Book. I received my original copy as a Wedding present in 1969 and it has been used almost every day since then!What sets this cookbook apart? First, It gives _all_ the most essential basic information about selecting, handling and cooking every kind of food. No, not quite everything, because it's quite short on info for vegetarians. Second, it gives background information so the cook really understands what s/he is doing. For instance, it tells the cook what each ingredient in bread does for the success of the whole and even suggests 'safe' substitutions. It tells the advantages and disadvantages of each type of leavening agent and the different types of flour. Third, after every basic recipe you will find a set of variations to try out. The tone is a bit old-fashioned and even 'preachy', but I find that the charm of the thing - after all it _was_ originally written in 1923! As the title of this review states: This is _my_ essential cooking resource (this evening it's teaching me how to cook a duck I was given) and I sure hope amazon.ca can find me one!

LUCILLE,

This review is from: Canadian Cook Book: (Hardcover)
I received a copy of this book when I moved away from home in 1975. My mother purchased it for me as I was fairly inexperienced in the kitchen. I remembered it as it was the cook book used in our highschool home economics classes. Over the years it has been a great source of reference. It not only provides good basic receipes from how to cook a roast to souffles but also how to set a table - almost a "Miss Manners" approach. My daughter is moving to her own place and I thought what a great gift. I was so disappointed to learn it is not in stock as I've tried various stores. This book should be on the shelves of every young person moving out on their own.
