The Canadian Public Health Association is pleased to announce the launch of a completely updated new edition of the best-selling – The Basic Shelf Cookbook  2011 Edition!

The Basic Shelf Cookbook is a very special cookbook because all the recipes can be made from one list of low-cost, nutritious ingredients that make up what we call “the basic shelf”. Most of these ingredients can be kept for a long time in your cupboard without refrigeration.

The Basic Shelf Cookbook was originally developed in the early 1990s by the City of York Health Unit and is designed for anyone living on a budget. In this updated edition, the best recipes from the first edition of the cookbook were kept and a number of new recipes were added. The recipes are nutritious, tasty and are quick and easy to make. You do not need to be an expert cook or have a lot of expensive equipment to prepare these recipes. Using these recipes will help you save money and you will still be able to enjoy healthy, nutritious foods.

Also included in The Basic Shelf Cookbook: information about where to store food, a shopping guide to help you save money, meal planning ideas and tips for healthy eating.
