I bought mine over

"I bought mine over a year ago and I don't use any other cook book. I've had ladies ask if I could order them one so I have done a few orders because there are alot of people that don't do online orders"

Flip65 (5/5)

Five roses is a great product well known.

"Awesome recipes. Great instructions. All family members now have it."

Granny (5/5)

Replacing a decades old edition

"No kitchen is complete without this handy cookbook. No matter the occasion you will find great ideas and tips and tricks. Looking forward to a few more decades with the new version."

Mary (5/5)

Family Cookbook

"This cookbook was given to myself and my sisters when we were getting married. Our mother bought us each a copy because it is the cookbook she had and all of used during our childhood. It has everything you need to know about cooking. Good basic recipes for everyday cooking. The conversion and substitution guides have helped me many times. If you have never cooked or baked before this cookbook has everything you need to learn. Our family has carried on my Mothers tradition and each of our daughters and daughter-in-laws received a copy."

Janet B. (5/5)

Great book

"Love this cookbook. Needed a ne one because my old one was in bad shape. (Been using for 25 years)"

Trish (4/5)

Disappointed in format

"My first exposure to this cookbook was my mother's copy in the 1960s/1970s. She bought me my own copy a few years later. I loved it and used it extensively. That copy disappeared during a move many years ago so when I saw this was available I bought this as a replacement from Chapters. (They ordered it in for me. ) My first disappointment was the binding: no coil, just glue and very stiff. This made using it very difficult since it wouldn't stay open on its own and it wouldn't lie flat. My second disappointment was it was entirely black and white inside. The cookbooks I remember had colour images. This makes the book very drab. Now after about 8 yrs the back is broken and it is falling apart. I would like to replace it since the contents make it one of the most useful cookbooks around, but not until I can find either an older original copy or the publisher re-releases a version in colour and with a coil binding. This paperback version is impractical."

Great recipe book

"This recipe book was a staple in my mom’s home. It is also the recipe book I rely on. Purchased one for my daughter and granddaughter too!"

Teresa E. (5/5)

Five Roses cookbook - A Canadian tradition

"This cookbook is nostalgic for my husband as he grew up with it in his childhood home. We’ve made a couple recipes from it over the holidays and they were as delicious as hubby remembers."

F R. (5/5)

Great collection of recipes

"Time tested recipes. Simple and basic recipes for everyday cooking."

Bonnie (5/5)

Baking since 1960’s

"My mom loved it, her original one was failing apart,"
