In 1915, the Five Roses Cook Book was in daily use in nearly 650,000 Canadian kitchens - practically one copy for every second Canadian home. Here you will find a faithful reprint of this amazing book. " Enjoy the Five Roses Cook Book as a charming glimpse into the past, and as my grandmother did, as a friend and helper. " - Elizabeth Baird, food editor at Canadian Living Magazine
