Here is one of the most unique and fascinating food histories in the world, exploring the diverse culinary history of Canada.

I don't know how I missed the part about this being a "history of Canada"---had I known the fun historical facts that were to be found in this, I would have picked it up a long time ago! Filled with rich history, nostalgic anecdotes, and lots of stuff that only Canadians would get, this book is great for anyone who has a love for Canada and it's history.
I really enjoyed reading about the Vikings in Canada---they're one of my favorite people groups to study. I did find that, the closer I got to modern times, the more I began to lose interest in the book. I actually skimmed the last 30 pages or so as it just wasn't holding my attention anymore.
I'm definitely interested in finding more about the Yukon's "Sourdough Festival"---sounds very unique! I'm also interested in learning more about the Women's Institutes. ( )

They were the original custodians and guardians of this land and its riches, and whenever we, the newcomers, sound the cry for restraint and for the wise use of our resources, we pay them tribute.
