I'm not a big cook, but when I came across this book I had to have just for its concept alone.The book largely consists of recipes taken from early cookbooks, or are adapted from old family recipes. Since Ontario was home to a large immigrant population, the author/compiler has included a number of ethnic recipes.
Each page consists of one recipe, from a given location--beginning in the west in Amherstburg and working eastward to Ottawa, and then to the north--and on the facing page is a large photo from the nineteenth- or early twentieth-century from that region. In all, there are just under 100 recipes.
Editorial Review:
This is a non-technical introduction to American English. The first part consists of a general account of variation in American English. It offers concise but comprehensive coverage of such topics as the history of American English; regional, social and ethnic variation; variation in style (including slang); and British and American differences. The second part of the book puts forward an account of how American English has developed its dominance. Intellectual traditions such as puritanism and republicanism are discussed in terms of how they have shaped the American world view, and have also contributed to the distinctiveness of American English.
