I purchased this cookbook about 25 years ago. This book showed me how to make the perfect apple pie using brown sugar. It showed me how to make wonderful popovers and lemon bread which my family loves. My daughters use my well-worn edition for stuffing and sauce recipes. If you only have one cookbook, this should be the one!!!

I was given this cookbook as a wedding gift eighteen years ago. It is worn out! Its a wonderful book for anyone who is Canadian and living elsewhere. The butter tart recipe is fantastic and the cake recipes are excellent. The photography is interesting, as well!

I have an original edition, falling apart from 25 years of use, and am delighted to find it reprinted. This book taught me to cook from scratch and is my primary basic cookbook. I especially like the sections depicting various cuts of meat and fowl, with roasting guidelines, as well as preparation instructions for that venison or other game your hunter friend brings by. Recipes are easy to follow and they all taste good. The piecrust, biscuit, pancake, blueberry muffin and butter cake recipes are family staples and the recipe for pumpkin nut waffles alone is worth the price of this book.
