Here is a fascinating collection of recipes and remedies compiled by the Ladies of Toronto and other towns and cities in Canada, also chapters on Housekeeping, Social Observances, Little Housekeepers, Utensils and more.

According to the original title page the over 300 recipes are tested and proven, including: Snow Souffle, India Pickle, Curing ham, and Mountain Cake.
