While I too share frustration of a lack of nutritional information, I do not hold that against a cookbook: (a) it is only a subset of the population - that recently accepted me - who truly needs that information in planning meals, therefore I am used to having to make my own calculations; and (b) having a substantial collection of cookbooks (nearing 100) and having read even more, while including nutritional information has increased, it is still too rare for me to expect it. Still, if McDermott comes out with another cookbook, it would be a nice consideration.
Truly, I loved just sitting there reading this book. Ordinary I hate when cookbooks have too many stories (yet oddly love introductory paragraphs). I am always asking "why am I suppose to care?" For his, I not only cared but enjoyed the stories and descriptions. I sat with my tea and read page-by-page, soaking up not only the narrative but the savoury bits of Canadiana. It all had a sense of familiarity for me, and made me momentarily appreciate things I ordinarily take for granted. I still cannot believe Sesame Snaps are a Canadian thing! It just made me more appreciative of my home and native land.
