This survival guide, compiled fifteen decades ago, is a fascinating glimpse into Canadian life before modern conveniences. Melissa McAfee's fascinating preface notes that \"receipt\" is an older term, a set of instructions not only for cooking, but also for medicine and food preservation. In \u003cem\u003eThe Canadian Receipt Book\u003c\/em\u003e, these \"receipts\" cover many tasks, some of which may seem hair-raising to the modern reader: removing worms from a cow's bronchial tubes may have been as important in 1867 as knowing how to make English-style tea cakes. Recipes for lemon pudding and rice \"snow-balls\" are found in one chapter; remedies for pig leprosy and a cow's \"mad staggers\" in another. The \u003cem\u003eReceipt Book\u003c\/em\u003e also contains business advertisements, a dizzying array from the moderately recognizable (insurance and jewellery) to the more dubious ( a \"drug warehouse\" advertising\"cocoaine\" and \"liver syrup\"). Set to become a classic of early Canadian cooking and household management alongside Catherine Parr Trail, this page-turning collection reminds Canadians of the long distance we have travelled in 150 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 204\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 12, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44200410906759,"sku":"9781772441246","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/Bq4D10iQcg9781772441246.webp?v=1773514215","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-canadian-receipt-book-containing-over-500-valuable-receipts-for-the-farmer-and-the-housewife-first-published-in-1867-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
