Hearth and Home, 1784-2000

A collection of many of our very own special collection of recipes that date back to loyalist days. Available now for $10.00, plus postage.

Connie Brummel Crook, U.E. a former teacher and avid history buff specializing in the Loyalist experience has honoured Kawartha Branch by writing the introduction.

The different categories are wonderfully illustrated by Branch Member, William (Bill) Vent U.E.

The cookbook contains the "Loyalist Grace" written by Frank Rogers U.E. along with a number of "House Hold Hints" that we are sure you will find just as valuable as our ancestors did.

Not to mention over 325 recipes that fall into the category of Soups, Vegetables, Main Dishes, Desserts, Breads, Canning, and Extra Special which deals with a number of wines and brews our Loyalist Ancestors would have enjoyed.

A great deal of research went into this book along with a number of time honoured recipes that have been handed down from mother to daughter over the years.

Loyalist Cookbook, Vol. 2

Hearth and Home, vol. 2
Hearth and Home: A Treasury of Family Recipes, Volume Two

by Members of Kawartha Branch UELAC, copyright May 2018.

This second volume of our very own special collection of recipes that date back to the Loyalist days, is available now for $15.00, plus postage.

Add it to the first Volume to complete your set of these two cook books, containing many heritage recipes that sustained our Loyalist ancestors.

This book also contains a tribute to E. John Chard UE, a native of Stirling, Ontario, who was a founder of sixteen of the twenty-seven Loyalist Branches across Canada and the Founder and Patron of the Kawartha Branch. John stated that the UELAC group was unique, in that it was based on an individual’s prime interest in learning about one’s family. John also enjoyed eating good and well-prepared food that you’ll find in these two volumes of recipes from Members of Kawartha Branch UELAC.

There’s also a tribute to John’s grandmother, Mary Adeline Hubble Chard (1830 – 1921) who lived to be age 91. Her experiences go almost as far back as the Hungry Years between 1777 and 1789, when it was so arid that streams dried up, game disappeared, forests burned, and it was so cold in the winter of 1789 that fish would not bite in the nearby Bay of Quinte. The Indians told the Loyalist settlers that anything a wild boar would root up and eat was safe for human beings to eat. Likely the recipes that she passed down through the family were given to her by her Indian neighbours.

With increased interest in back to basic home cooking, these cook books will become a “go-to” resource in your kitchen.
