Janette's Recipes - Janette Bertrand

In the 1970s, I was juggling three careers: mother of three, wife, and co-host of a daily radio show. How did I manage to balance my family and culinary responsibilities with my busy schedule? By humanizing the dishes from here and abroad that inspired me, making them easy to prepare, yet just as delicious. Then I compiled these recipes into a book, which quickly became a must-have for young and old alike.

At my last book signing, I had to send home some people whose original copies were so well-used they were ready to be replaced, because I ran out of books. It was at that moment that my publishing house decided to release the version you are holding in your hands, in order to introduce it to a new generation of readers.

Published in 1968, then revised and expanded in 2005, Janette's Recipes has left its mark on the imaginations and dinner tables of hundreds of thousands of families. Bringing together the original texts, this edition pays tribute to classic recipes and offers a glimpse into Quebec's past. A homage to our gastronomic and cultural heritage.
