Highlights from the Canadian Community Cookbook Collection (December 12, 2023 until February 2nd, 2024)
The Canadian Community Cookbook Collection contains over 250 community cookbooks, culinary textbooks, and company publications related to food products dating from 1888 to the early 2000s. It was donated to Special Collections in 2021 by Dr. Ian Mosby, a faculty member from TMU’s Department of History.
We are featuring an assortment of cookbooks in the Archives & Special Collections display cases to highlight the wide range of genres within culinary publications. We hope that these windows into Canadian culinary history, and especially the festive recipes, will inspire you to try making a new recipe, or watch the Great Canadian Baking Show during the winter break!
