Scarborough, Ontario: Prentice-Hall Canada, 1985. 211 pp, 10 1/4" H. Watercolours and b&w drawings by Mary Pratt, one of Canada's premier artists. "Beginning in the Atlantic Provinces and moving westward through Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies and British Columbia and finally to the North, Cynthia Wine talks about the specialities found in each of these very diverse regions. Cod au Gratin from the Atlantic, Smoked Ham with Port and Raspberries from Ontario, Hot Crab and Cheese Sandwiches from British Columbia and Ptarmigan with Fresh Cranberries from the North. In many cases the specialities are virtually unknown outside their immediate areas. (M)uch more than a cookbook, (this) is an affectionate and beautiful chronicle of Canada's regional culinary specialties that will delight food and art lovers across the country."
