La cuisinière canadienne, contenant tout ce qu'il est nécessaire de savoir dans un ménage, pour préparer les diverses…. Montréal: L. Perrault, 1840
La cuisinière canadienne is one of the earliest cookbooks -- perhaps the earliest -- written and published in Canada. It was intended both for professionals and the general public, and marked the beginning of French-Canadian cooking as a distinct cuisine. In style and content, the book's goal was efficiency, as it sought to encourage "wise home economics, suited to the budgets of Canadian families." [translation]
