Some of Today's Favourite Cooks
Jehane Benoit. L'encyclopédie de la cuisine de Jehane Benoit. [Montréal]: Brimar, 1991
As this publication attests, Madame Benoit's recipes continue to be depended on throughout the country, in both French and English kitchens.
Anita Stewart. From Our Mothers' Kitchens. Toronto: Random House of Canada, 1991
This book by Anita Stewart brings together over 200 healthy, traditional and comforting recipes. These foods from the kitchens of our mothers, grandmothers and good friends will warm hearts and restore spirits.
Elizabeth Baird. Elizabeth Baird's Classic Canadian Cooking: Menus for the Seasons. Toronto: James Lorimer, 1995
Since her early books from James Lorimer and Company (Classic Canadian Cooking and Apples, Peaches & Pears), Elizabeth Baird has become the cooking genius at Canadian Living and, with her staff there, has created hundreds of magazine articles, television shows and cookbooks. Few kitchens, whatever cuisine is favoured, are without at least one of her titles.
Daniel Pinard. Encore des pinardises : Recettes et propos culinaires. Montréal: Boréal, 2000
Daniel Pinard is famous for his newspaper columns and television appearances. He has a great influence over how we eat today.
