8vo - 22 x 14 cm.; 200 pp. This is a cook book, a collection of "Your Requests" recipes gathered tngether by the author in her nineteen years of travelling with her cooking show throughout Ontario and parts of Canada. She was also on television for 10 years. Date of book isn't stated but a gift inscription is dated 1967. There are commercial ads (for businesses in Kitchener, Ontario) salted throughout text of recipes and a final section entitled "Day By Day Thoughts", an odd assortment of sayings, poems and prayers that ends with Canada's Food Guide - Calypso Style ("One night I go to a night club show / Pretty girl she is there and she dance just so / People sit around with their mouths open wide / While she sing about Canada's Food Guide . . ."). Sorry, you'll have to buy the book to find out how the song ends. This soft covered book has sewn signatures. There is some staining on the cover and on a few of the pages; the spine is sunned; there is the aforementioned inscription on the foreward page.
