This exhibit was curated by the students of Dr. Rebecca Beausaert's HIST*3240: Food History course at the University of Guelph in the Winter 2022 semester. It includes thirty-four cookbooks, published between the 19th and 20th centuries, that highlight the long-standing relationship between food, health, and wellness, and how this relationship changed over time. The exhibit includes advertising cookbooks, community cookbooks, and government pamphlets which aim to educate readers about new wellness trends and the best and most practical ways to live a healthy, happy, and wholesome life.
