This cookbook is a charming and practical collection of recipes and household wisdom, compiled by the women of the Banff United Church congregation. Reflecting the culinary traditions and community spirit of the Canadian Rockies in the early 20th century, the cookbook features a wide array of recipes for cakes, pies, preserves, and confections- interspersed with tips for home management. This humble volume served both as a fundraising tool and a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the women who shaped Banff’s domestic life in the 1920s.
