Notes

Nellie Lyle Pattinson’s Canadian Cook Book (first published in
1923) was Canada’s inaugural mass‑produced cookbook. Edited by Pattinson, a leading domestic‑science educator, it combined practical recipes with guidance on nutrition, budgeting, menu planning and household efficiency—reflecting the emerging home‑economics curriculum of the era. The book quickly became a bestseller and remained a staple for generations of Canadian home cooks, later updated by Helen Wattie and Elinor Donaldson who added a “Regional Dishes” chapter, marking one of the first attempts to map Canada’s culinary diversity
