Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Many early Canadian households had copies of Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management (London, x861; later editions contained a section on 'Canadian cooking'), her shorter All About Cookery (London, 1870), La cuisiniere bourgeoise (Paris, 1825), or Miss Aeecher's Domestic Receipt Book (New York,1825)..But the earliest Canadian cookbooks were La cuisiniere canadienne (Quebec, 1840) and The Frugal Housewife's Manual (Toronto,1840). Most 19th-century cookbooks offered advice aimed at promoting domestic self-sufficiency: see, for example, The Cook Not Mad (an American book published in Kingston, 1831), Catharine Parr TRAILL's The Canadilin Settler's Guide (1854), and The Galt Cookbook (1898). A later edition of La cuisiniere canadienne,retitled La nouvelle cuisiniere canadienne (1850), provided recipes for glue.and shoe blacking; subsequent editions gave instructions for preparing paint and washing powder. Most books also contained a section on'Sick Room Cookery': Mrs.Clarke's Cookery Book (Toronto, 1883; an American book but with Canadian additions) offered suggestions for a medicine box and tips on first aid.

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.
