Carnol Limited is the author and publisher of this cookbook. Their headquarters were in Montreal and they were known for specializing in dessert cookbooks. They published two cookbooks titled Original Cooking Recipes and Cake Secrets, which were both published around 1924. The author/publisher is also known for the CARNOL tonic, a medicine with several alleged healing properties that targeted a number of conditions including ageing, flu recovery, bronchitis, and colds. Carnol Limited included reviews from satisfied customers throughout this cookbook in an attempt to market the tonic. The company tries to appear as somewhat of a medical authority as Original Cooking Recipes highlights several health and nutrition tips that the housewife should take into consideration when preparing meals.
