The New Canadian Basics Cookbook
The New Canadian Basics Cookbook: member book reviews (Single Review Display)
I was given this book as part of my bridal shower five years ago and it has become a staple in our kitchen.
The recipes aren't fancy, but it delivers what it promises: basics, with a Canadian twist.
Many, many of the recipes have become my standards, such as scones, perfect roast beef, cookies, pancakes, roast chicken, the best baked beans, soups, cakes, and alfredo sauce.
I haven't tried every recipe, but between myself and my husband, we've tried probably at least 75% and there wasn't one that we didn't like. Not all of them are in heavy rotation, but they're good, solid recipes.
I also appreciate the extensive measurement tables. Canadian measurements are different than both British and American, so it's handy when cooking from other cookbooks.
