Cookbooks - "A window into a woman’s worI " By Elizabeth Driver In association with the School of Hotel and Food Administration at the University of Guelph, I am embarkin on a major research project: a bibliography of cookbook published in Canada before 1950. The aim is to locate am} examine a copy of every cookbook that was published in Canada prior to 1950. Publications of 16 pages or more in any language will be included in the bibliography. I am interested in all rypmr books â€" from general cookbooks originating from Pubiishlng houses to fundâ€"raising cookbooks compiled by church} Women‘s Institute groups. or reCipe collections put out {at promotional purposes by food manufacturers, such as flourm baking soda companies. Cookbooks are a testament to the expertise and enterpnge of Canadian women. who often were. individually or Collgc. tively, responsible for selecting the recipes and arranging to, the printing and distribution of the volumes. As a direct window into a woman’s world. cookbooks are also an ilTlpm. tant resource for studying women’s history. Yet few cookbooks are found in libraries; many survive only in private homes, Women‘s Institute members A whn have long played an important role in Canada's food produc- tion and preparation â€" are sure to have safe-guarded their treasured cookbooks over the years. How can you help? If you own a cookbook published in Canada before 1950 that is [6 pages or longer, please send me information about it. The information I need includes the author, title, place and date of publication. publisher, and any other details you think are signiï¬cant. If you have access It! a photocopier. a copy of the title page with this information would be useful; if there is no title page, send a copy ofthe front cover. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated My address is: Elizabeth Driver. 26 Wayland Ave. Toronto. Ontario. M4E 3C7. (416) 691-4877.
