Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

After studying this chapter, readers will be able to recognize cookbooks as offering more than cooking instruction, and look to them for insight into changing social roles (particularly within families and communities) and food tastes over time. Next, through examples of close reading of the titles and cookbook prefaces and introductions provided here, readers will be alert and prepared to recognize moments when cookbooks identify their strategic objectives. After all, cookbooks are addressed to particular audience for a particular purpose. Finally, armed with a brief overview of five periods of Canadian history as seen through Canadian cookbooks, and introduced to some of the most significant Canadian cookbooks, readers will be able to place Canadian cookbooks they encounter going forward into the context of the complex history of Canadian foodways that includes moments of pivotal change often linked to successive waves of immigration.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
