These recipes have not been lab tested. Instead, their merit rests on the reputation of our British Columbia women, as good cooks and able hostesses, members of our Women's Institutes, and used in their own homes across our province, who year after year take so many prizes in our Fairs and Exhibitions. Early settlers gave freely of hospitality and food. Doors were always open to travellers, and so we are happy to have the opportunity to compile this Cook Book to mark our part in the Centennial Celebration of our Province." - Foreword. 298 pages.
