Quick Quotes

"BEAUTY"
"Nostalgia is an ingredient best tempered as a seasoning, rather than a meal onto itself. With Out Of Old Ontario Kitchens, Lindy Mechefske brings equal portions of beauty, history, bitter strife, and an enviable repository of culinary stories to the table for all." — Simon Thibault is the award-winning author of Pantry and Palate: Remembering and Rediscovering Acadian Food.
  

"CLASSIC"
"Lindy Mechefske's Out of Old Ontario Kitchens is sure to become a classic — for historians as well as for students of food history and women's history, along with cooks, and those who like to eat. Much more than a cookbook, this interesting volume provides a social history of Ontario including a record of what Ontarians ate. The recipes, however, allow us to take a bite of the past." — Prof. Beverly Soloway, Department of History, Lakehead University.
