Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 75th Anniversary Edition. Cover is lightly soiled, light crease bottom front corner, spot on top and side edges, otherwise very clean with an uncreased spine. 5 X 8" 286 pages. First published in 1904, this 1979 edition is a facimile of the 1911 second edition with contributor's name and original advertisements. While it is called a "cookery book', it is far more than just that. It is the collected wisdom of a group of women who at that time led society in Victoria, many of whom were true pioneers in British Columbia. It was written for young ladies who, without servants and kitchen experience, suddenly had to cope with feeding family and friends and contains: "Authentic British Columbia recipes as collected and used by a prominent turn-of-the-century hostess.".
