This was the baking and cooking bible in our home,
By Picky Reader "tweetypez" (Irish Catholic Lady, Wife, Mom, and Part-time Library Clerk in Syracuse, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The All New Purity Cookbook (Classic Canadian Cookbook Series) (Paperback)
My father, who was and still is the cook in my childhood home, used this cookbook so much it is now beyond ragged. I bought a used original edition copy on EBay awhile ago for myself, but I was very excited to see that it was reissued and I bought two more copies for my brother and cousin. The recipes in this book are excellent. My husband swears by the pancake batter recipe. My father has made every pie, cookie, roll etc recipe. You will not regret ordering this cookbook.

My mother swore by the Purity Cookbook. I always remembered the great meals that were based on it's recipes. When I saw that it was again in print I had to get it. Great cookbook.

Timeless Favorite,
By Anne Rasenberger (Queensland, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The All New Purity Cookbook (Classic Canadian Cookbook Series) (Paperback)
I agree! Mum is Canadian and brought the book with her when she married Dad, who is Australian. She used it before that when she was living in Papua & New Guinea. Then she used the book in Australia when we were growing up, so the book is now held together by rubber bands!! It has some great recipes in it, and my sister was going to re-type the whole book until she saw this on Amazon! She told Mum and Mum told me. We're going to ask my aunt from Canada if she'll bring some copies over with her when she visits this year!
