Curated by students in Dr. Rebecca Beausaert's Food History class at the University of Guelph, the exhibit highlights how rural and agrarian areas in Canada have shaped Canadian food trends and preferences over the past 160 years. The exhibit is part of the What Canada Ate site, which was developed by Archival & Special Collections and the History Department at the University of Guelph. The site provides free access to nearly 300 complete digital facsimiles of Canadian cookbooks from McLaughlin Library's extensive Culinary Collection.
