_ What is the perennial fascination with cookbooks?
It would appear that there is a limited amount of

_ ways foods can be combined, and yet year after year

they appear and are always amongst the best sellers.
One of the most famous department stores in the
world, Harrods of London, boasts a fascinating food
department, the Food Hall. This huge bustling
market accounts for a high percentage of the store’s
income yet retains a high standard of service to the
individual customer, It is in the tradition of Charles
Digby Harrod who wrote to his customers shortly
after the original store burned down in 1883,
*‘Madam, I greatly regret to inform-you that, in con-
sequence of the above premises being burned down,
. your order will be delayed in the execution a day or
two.'’ :

Harrods Cookery Book

Featuring the famous Food Hall, ‘Harrods
Cookery Book’? (Arbor House/Fitzhenry and
Whiteside: $37.95) offers over 300 recipes based on
the diversity of products carried. The recipes are fully
adapted for North America, and range from tradi-
tional fare like steak and oyster pie and real English
muffins, to the exotic spinach and tangerine soup or
wild mushroom ravioli. There are some extravagant
recipes but most of them depend on the imaginative
and careful blending of readily available ingredients.
The book is beautifully produced, well set out and il-
lustrated in color, bound in Harrods traditional
green and gold.

Recipes for busy people

‘““Gourmet’s Recipes for Contemporary Living’’
(Random House: $39.25) draws its 258 recipes from
the magazine’s monthly fealure ‘Cuisine
Courante”’. The recipes are designed for busy people
who are short of time but who wish to serve their
guests interesting, good food.

The book is set out as a series of complete menus
and there is an index. It would have been helpful if
the publisher had also included an index broken
down into soups, entrees, desserts, etc., for quick
reference. Throughout the book there are primers on
stock making, pastry blending and so on — these are
clearly indicated in the index. The recipes are given in
cup measure. There are some tasty and different
dishes and there is a great deal of useful basic infor-
mation. The whole is handsomely presented.

Jane Brody, the personal health columnist of The
New York Times and an expert in nutrition, has a
new book, ‘'Good Food Book: Living the High-
Carbohydrate Way’’ (Penguin: $24.95). The book is
divided into two main sections. The first is a primer
on the new ideas in nutrition and discussions of the
various major starches — potatoes, beans and pasta,
as well as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. The sec-
ond part is a cookbook containing over 350 recipes
which are not only suitable for different occasions
but also take note of the needs of weight watchers,
and those who must limit their intake of cholesterol,
salt or other additives.

This is a thoroughly researched, skillfully
presented cookbook, packed with valuable and
useful information and bound, I am sure, to become
a classic in the field.

Terrace has received the
second largest share of .
the expenditures from
Alcan Smelters and
Chemicals Ltd’s Kitimat
Works smelter operation
over the past seven years.

Over $19 million
worth of goods and ser-
vices -about 12 percent
of the total purchases for
the region - have been
procured in Terrace.

According to Kitimat
Works Manager Emery
LeBlanc, the company
spent approximately
$160 million for goods
and services (excluding
labour and raw
materials) in north-
western B.C. from 1979
to 1985.

LeBlanc pointed out
that despite difficult
market conditions in the
aluminum industry over
the past five years, Alcan
Smelters and Chemicals
Ltd. has been spending a
greater proportion of its
total outlay for goods
and services in north-
western B.C,

In reviewing spending
trends, LeBlanc said that
more than three-quarters
of the total was spent
directly in the Kitimat
area. The amount
represents 47 percent of
the smelter’s total expen-
ditures in B.C. - $340
million - over the same
period.

In North America,
Kitimat Works spent a
total $512 million for
goods and services over
the seven years. Some 66
percent of the total was
‘spent in B.C. and 31 per-
cent in northwestern
B.C,

“The good news for
northwestern suppliers is
that the percentage spent
in the region has been in-
creasing in recent years
-from 41 percent in 1980
to 54 percent in 1984 and
1985,”’ LeBlanc said.

LeBlanc said suppliers
in Kitimat received the
bulk of the business
from Alcan - a total of

$123 million worth in the -

seven year period. The
third major recipient of
Alcan spending was the
Prince George-Van-
