What do and did we eat? What do our food stories tell us about who we are or were? What’s to Eat? serves up
twelve preliminary answers to initiate and nourish the discussion of food in Canada.
How we as Canadians procure, produce, cook, consume, and think about food creates our cuisine, and our
nation of immigrant traditions has produced a distinctive and evolving repertoire that is neither hodgepodge
nor smorgasbord. Contributors, who come from the diverse worlds of universities, museums, the media, and
gastronomy, look at Canada’s distinctive foodways from the shared perspective of the current moment. Individual
chapters explore food items and choices, from those made by Canada’s First Nations and early settlers to those
made today. Other contributions describe the ways in which foods enjoyed by early Canadians have found their
way back onto Canadian tables in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Authors emphasize the expressive
potential of food practices and food texts; cookbooks are more than books to be read and used in the kitchen,
they are also documents that convey valuable social and historical information.
Through a close examination of our shared past and by taking notice of something that often goes unnoticed,
What’s to Eat? explores how we can better understand our own food practices to create both a sustainable and
healthy future and a renewed sense of the pleasures afforded by the daily meal in Canada.
“There is virtually no Canadian content available regarding everyday food practices, the development and meanings
of domestic cooking, and the roles of food and meals in family life. This book is a welcome addition and makes
a highly significant contribution to the field of Canadian food studies.”
Gwen Chapman, Faculty of Land and Food Systems, University of British Columbia
“What’s to Eat? has something for everyone on its menu. It gives the new interdisciplinary field of food studies
in Canada a strong sense of where we’ve come from, who we are, and where we’re going.”
Elaine Power, School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, Queen’s University
