Popis The Ogilvie Flour Mills Co. used to be the top flour milling company in Canada. Founded by a Scottish settler to Montreal, Alexander Ogilvie, in the 19th century, this company was not only a pioneer in flour milling, but provided Canadian homemakers with their Ogilvie Cook Books. The cookbook was thoroughly researched and constantly revised throughout the 20th century, and the book I have was its 10th edition from 1957. This cookbook provides many recipes that were well known in Canadian kitchens of the time. The recipes are well written with few shortcuts and the portrait of Canadian homemakers (i.e. housewives) presenting the food is “retro” in a charming way. On a personal level, it is a trip down memory lane since the page markers my late mother had put into it from the 1960s included receipts from Steinberg and Simpson’s, Canadian-owned companies, which like the Ogilvie Flour Mills Co. and its cookbooks, have “gone with the wind”. But my Mother’s cookbook and its Canadian recipes have survived to be presented to you here.
