Reproduction of 21st edition, published in 1967.-"The Five Roses Cookbook Prize Butter Tarts recipe is literally the only butter tart recipe that my family has ever used. Period. We don't stray away from it, we don't mess with it. . . The Five Roses Cookbook Prize Butter Tarts recipe is perfection." - kitchen magpie Elizabeth Driver is an editor and writer who has spent over twenty years researching the culinary history of Canada and Britain. She is fascinated by the history of food and an avid collector of cookbooks and antique kitchenware. Elizabeth lives with her husband and two children in Toronto, where she is the Foodways Program Officer at Mongomery's Inn Museum. She demonstrates such historic techniques as cooking on an open hearth, returning home most days with the smell of wood smoke on her clothes. Elizabeth is a past President of the Culinary Historians of Ontario. She is the recipient of the Tremaine Medal for 2007 from The Bibliographical Society of Canada and in 2009 she was inducted into Taste Canada's Hall of Fame. -" What can I say? This is the one. The first and main cookbook I go to. As should every good, Canadian woman. It is also the dirtiest cookbook I own, has the most margin notes, and not one recipe that didn't turn out better than I expected or that my talents allowed. NOT full of lots of extra homemaking advice, (but more than I will ever need), this is just one great recipe after another. But not so strict that there isn't room for me to Laura-Lee-ize them. (to customize and enhance them in my own unique way)."-Laura-Lee Rahn. Seller Inventory # 17526
