Nova Scotia Cookery, Then and Now : Modern Interpretations of Heritage Recipes / edited by Valerie Mansour; photography by Len Wagg and Jessica Emin.  Halifax : Nimbus Publishing Ltd., 2017. xi introduction; 188 pages : colour illustrations, 24 cm.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - TX715.6 N78 2017

Head of title: The Nova Scotia Archives and Select Nova Scotia present.
Take one batch of historic recipes, add a handful of local, inspired chefs, mix well, and serve up a modern version of Nova Scotia culinary history. To create this book, food writer and editor Valerie Mansour reviewed the Nova Scotia Archives’s What’s Cooking? digital collection and, along with their staff, pulled out a cross-section of recipes dating back as far as The Halifax Gazette of 1765, and featuring material from wartime newspaper supplement recipes, community cookbooks, and more. Taste of Nova Scotia then matched recipes with Nova Scotia chefs and food-industry specialists, who put a modern twist on the recipes. Using their expertise, today’s food styles, and local ingredients, top chefs from across the province have recreated everything from classic seafood dishes like planked salmon and fish chowder to time-honoured favourites like brown bread and baked beans, with items like Irish potato pudding, rabbit stew with bannock, Gaelic fruitcake, and rappie pie showcasing the province’s multicultural and ever-evolving foodways.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
