And when the male-dominated industry of the day refused to print her first cookbook, dismissing the recipes as too sweet, she founded her own publishing company. Ms. Paré went on to publish more than 30 million copies, becoming one of the world’s top cookbook authors. She died last month at the age of 95 in Edmonton. After leaving the catering business, Ms. Paré’s next move was to write a series of more than 200 cookbooks called “[Company’s Coming](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlpRBMP0S1aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21wYW55c2NvbWluZy5jb20vP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUwJmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuZGFfMjAyMzAxMTQmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODI2NzYmbmw9Y2FuYWRhLWxldHRlciZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTIyNTMzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjtUyLwmOrJJWLUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).” The series, which she wrote for 30 years until her retirement in 2011, included titles like “150 Delicious Squares,” “Muffins & More” and “30-Minute Weekday Meals.” Christina Morales, a food reporter at The Times, wrote an excellent obituary about Ms. Paré (pronounced “Perry”) and her fascinating trajectory from home cook to author with a hand in shaping perhaps millions of Canadian kitchens with her unfussy recipes.

Here’s what she sent me: Ms. Paré was known for ordering desserts before anything else on the menu, or celebrating a special occasion by ordering all the desserts on the menu. Her granddaughter Amanda Lovig Hagg said that among her favorite books to produce for “Company’s Coming” was one called “Chocolate Everything,” because chocolate was her favorite food. “The process was a dream for her because she got to eat chocolate for a year,” Ms. Lovig Hagg said. “She could never quite narrow down her favorite recipe, but it was anything chocolate.” [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-universal-0) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlpRBMP0RxaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MjA3NjE2JmxpPUNOREEmbT1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZwPUNOREFfMjAyMzAxMTRXA255dEIKY7VMi8JjqySVi1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA With recipes including four-ingredient coconut rolls to Nanaimo bars, Ms. Paré’s first cookbook, “150 Delicious Squares,” was something of an ode to her sweet tooth. It has sold more than 14 million copies.

Ms. Driver spent more than two decades researching the history of [Canadian cookbooks](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlpRBMP0TKaHR0cHM6Ly80OXRoc2hlbGYuY29tL0Jvb2tzL0MvQ3VsaW5hcnktTGFuZG1hcmtzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUwJmVtYz1lZGl0X2NuZGFfMjAyMzAxMTQmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODI2NzYmbmw9Y2FuYWRhLWxldHRlciZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTIyNTMzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjtUyLwmOrJJWLUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), and compiled what the University of Toronto Press said is the “definitive history and bibliography of Canadian cookbooks” printed between 1825 and 1949.

In her study of Canada’s cookbook heritage, Ms. Driver said community cookbooks, particularly in rural areas and among women’s or church groups, were a popular format for locally disseminating recipes and were commonly sold during fund-raisers. Ms. Paré spotted an opportunity, within this culture of sharing recipes, to establish her business. “Her books were a hybrid between the community cookbooks that everybody knew, and the big publishers’ general cookbooks,” Ms. Driver said. “And that was the kind of innovation that she brought about.” [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-universal-2) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlpRBMP0RxaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9NzI4OTY3JmxpPUNOREEmbT1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZwPUNOREFfMjAyMzAxMTRXA255dEIKY7VMi8JjqySVi1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA The place of her prolific recipe collection in Canada’s culinary heritage revives the question of what, exactly, is Canadian cuisine.

She bristles at the fact that people would dare call [poutine](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlpRBMP0TdaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxNy8xMi8xOS93b3JsZC9jYW5hZGEvcXVlYmVjLXBvdXRpbmUuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MCZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbmRhXzIwMjMwMTE0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTgyNjc2Jm5sPWNhbmFkYS1sZXR0ZXImcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyMjUzMyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY7VMi8JjqySVi1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), crowned a national dish of Canada, anything but an invention and the pride of Quebec alone. The gastronomic scene in major Canadian cities is evolving, spurred by imported tastes from immigrants and by so-called big city chefs returning to open restaurants in their hometowns, Ms. Chesterman said. The needs of Canadian home cooks are also evolving. Ms. Chesterman said that while Ms. Paré was lesser-known than someone like Jehane Benoît, considered to be [Canada’s Julia Child](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlpRBMP0T-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2JjLmNhL25ld3MvY2FuYWRhL21vbnRyZWFsL3RvdXJ0aWVyZS1mb3ItdGhlLWhvbGlkYXlzLWFwcGVhbC1vZi1tYWRhbWUtYmVub2l0LTEuNTQwNTE3ND9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MCZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbmRhXzIwMjMwMTE0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTgyNjc2Jm5sPWNhbmFkYS1sZXR0ZXImcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyMjUzMyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY7VMi8JjqySVi1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), both women probably benefited from a cookbook market that, unlike today, wasn’t particularly saturated. “There was no Ina Garten as competition back then,” she said.

Flesch reading score

Flesch reading score measures how complex a text is. The lower the score, the more difficult the text is to read. The Flesch readability score uses the average length of your sentences (measured by the number of words) and the average number of syllables per word in an equation to calculate the reading ease. Text with a very high Flesch reading ease score (about 100) is straightforward and easy to read, with short sentences and no words of more than two syllables. Usually, a reading ease score of 60-70 is considered acceptable/normal for web copy.
