Item description from seller

pp. [12] 3209 [210]. 8vo., measuring 23.5 × 16.0 cm. Illustrated bright red cloth over boards bearing the distinctive logo of the Purity Flour Mills Company to the centre of the front cover, cream lettered borders. Richly illustrated throughout with many black-and-white photographs, in-text illustrations, and full-page colour plates attributed to A.J. Casson (1898-1992), noted Canadian artist and a member of the Group of Seven. An exceedingly scarce offering of the French-language equivalent of one of the most notable Canadian cookery titles of the last century: The Purity Cook Book as translated into French by Mdme. Rose C. Lacroix (directrice de "Les écoles ménagères provinciales" and auteur dun recueil de recettes intitulé "Le menu dujour"). Comprises of a rich selection of recipes with sections devoted to Yeast Breads and Rolls; Quick Breads; Cakes; Cookies and Squares; Pastry and Pies; Desserts; Appetizers; Soups; Main Dishes; Cheese and Eggs; Poultry; Fish; Meats; Deep Fat Frying; Vegetables; Savoury Dishes; Salads and Salad Dressings; Sandwiches; Cooking for a Crowd; Homemade Candies; Home Freezing; Preserved Foods; Beverages, and much more. Remarkably retains all six of the original coupons on the last page (p.209). Extremities show light edgewear, bumping to spine ends and tips, handwritten recipe in ink to the ffep, a few occasional faint spotting to some leaves (entirely unaffecting the legibility of the text). Text-block otherwise unmarked, and with firm, sound binding; very good. See Driver's Citation No. O771.2 [p. 737].…
