PASTIMES FOR MARCH A March Supper Party THIS was arranged for an after-theatre spread and the hostess kept in mind the Mad March Hare idea, as the table centrepiece was a big brown bunny surrounded by a circle of little brown bunnies. There were funny little rabbits holding wee Japanese turned-inside-out parasols (doll size) at each plate, and the bonbon boxes were carrots and Easter eggs. The piece de resistance was, of course, Welsh rabbit made in the chafing dish and chicken salad served in nests, lettuce hearts garnished with egg rings. If Easter comes in March, the supper would be suitable for the week following Easter, while the favor counter is still supplied with rabbits and eggs of all descriptions. This charming verse might be written on the place cards with water-color blue-birds flying over them: In March the earliest bluebird came And carolled from the orchard tree His little tremulous songs to me, And called upon the summer's name, And made old summers in my heart All sweet with flower and sun again. Dean Howells. A Violet Luncheon Violets are the flower for the month of March, so here is an opportunity for the hostess to give a violet luncheon. For the centrepiece have violets in a low jar with a corsage bouquet tied with violet gauze ribbon ateach place. Candle shades of lavender with silver tracery are very effective. Serve caviar on toast, grape fruit with cherries, bouillon, baked oysters in ramekins, breast of chicken cutlets, peas, potato croquettes, hot rolls, cucumber salad in cucumber boats, cheese and raspberry jam; baskets of spun sugar in violet tint filled with ice-cream and candied violets; coffee and violet-hued bonbons. Grape juice may be served with the repast, and if expense does not have to be considere...

Culinary Landmarks is a definitive history and bibliography of Canadian cookbooks from the beginning, when La cuisinière bourgeoise was published in Quebec City in 1825, to the mid-twentieth century. Over the course of more than ten years Elizabeth Driver researched every cookbook published within the borders of present-day Canada, whether a locally authored text or a Canadian edition of a foreign work. Every type of recipe collection is included, from trade publishers' bestsellers and advertising cookbooks, to home economics textbooks and fund-raisers from church women's groups. The entries for over 2,200 individual titles are arranged chronologically by their province or territory of publication, revealing cooking and dining customs in each part of the country over 125 years. Full bibliographical descriptions of first and subsequent editions are augmented by author biographies and corporate histories of the food producers and kitchen-equipment manufacturers, who often published the books. Driver's excellent general introduction sets out the evolution of the cookbook genre in Canada, while brief introductions for each province identify regional differences in developments and trends. Four indexes and a 'Chronology of Canadian Cookbook History' provide other points of access to the wealth of material in this impressive reference book.

For the past four decades, increasing numbers of Americans have started paying greater attention to the food they eat, buying organic vegetables, drinking fine wines, and seeking out exotic cuisines. Yet they are often equally passionate about the items they refuse to eat: processed foods, generic brands, high-carb meals. While they may care deeply about issues like nutrition and sustainable agriculture, these discriminating diners also seek to differentiate themselves from the unrefined eater, the common person who lives on junk food. Discriminating Taste argues that the rise of gourmet, ethnic, diet, and organic foods must be understood in tandem with the ever-widening income inequality gap. Offering an illuminating historical perspective on our current food trends, S. Margot Finn draws numerous parallels with the Gilded Age of the late nineteenth century, an era infamous for its class divisions, when gourmet dinners, international cuisines, slimming diets, and pure foods first became fads. Examining a diverse set of cultural touchstones ranging from Ratatouille to The Biggest Loser, Finn identifies the key ways that “good food” has become conflated with high status. She also considers how these taste hierarchies serve as a distraction, leading middle-class professionals to focus on small acts of glamorous and virtuous consumption while ignoring their class’s larger economic stagnation. A provocative look at the ideology of contemporary food culture, Discriminating Taste teaches us to question the maxim that you are what you eat.

"Mahjong: A Chinese Game and the Making of Modern American Culture illustrates how the spaces between tiles and the moments between games have fostered distinct social cultures in the United States. This mass-produced game crossed the Pacific, creating waves of popularity over the twentieth century. Mahjong narrates the history of this game to show how it has created a variety of meanings, among them American modernity, Chinese American heritage, and Jewish American women's culture. As it travelled from China to the United States and caught on with Hollywood starlets, high society, middle-class housewives, and immigrants alike, mahjong became a quintessentially American pastime. This book also reveals the ways in which women leveraged a game for a variety of economic and cultural purposes, including entrepreneurship, self-expression, philanthropy, and ethnic community building. One result was the forging of friendships within mahjong groups that lasted decades. This study unfolds in two parts: the first half is focused on mahjong's history as related to consumerism, with a close examination of its economic and cultural origins. The second half of the book explores how mahjong interwove with the experiences of racial inclusion and exclusion in the evolving definition of what it means to be American. Mahjong players, promoters, entrepreneurs, and critics tell a broad story of American modernity. The apparent contradictions of the game - as both American and foreign, modern and supposedly ancient, domestic and disruptive of domesticity - reveal the tensions that lie at the heart of modern American culture"--
