5 Canadian Cookbooks That Offer a Unique Sense of Place

"For nearly 20 years, I’ve been entrenched in the world of cookbooks. As a chef I’ve cooked out of more than 2,000 of them (truly!), and since 2005 I’ve been the owner of [the cookbook shop], a cookbook shop in Montreal." The owner started the shop in 2005 and runs it as a specialist independent cookbook store; the shop is presented as a place to discover new volumes of dishes, storytelling, and photography and as a way to see cookbooks as "a snapshot in time of a country’s cuisine," preserving historical dishes and capturing modern classics across Canada’s diverse foodways." - Jonathan Cheung
