The Frugal Gourmet
It's unfortunate that someone's accusations can throw an entire carreer out the door. From what I've heard and read about Mr. Smith, he was a kind and gentle person. One could believe that he decided his career was over whether he proved himself innocent or not (something that's not supposed to have to happen in America) so why ruin someone else's career along with it (Wollum's). We are all supposed to be innocent until PROVEN guilty, and that did not happen. If the allegations were proven, I'd be right along side BITTER there, but they were not.
As for his recipies and cookbooks, with some experience and "Try, try again" spirit, you could get some darned good food out of them. Now Alton, he bats closer to 85%, little prior knowledge required!

Geez, there's a lot of comments here! Okay, my step-mother and step-sister are Canadian, and one of the things I remember most is breakfast, which was a bird-in-a-nest and some real pea meal bacon. Bird in a nest is basically an egg fried into the center (or, in Canada, "the centre") of a piece of toast. That bit you removed is also toasted in the pan, for dipping. This can be done on any side of the border where a slice of bread and an egg can be found, but what about the bacon? Believe it or not, it can be had (for a price!) here in the good ol' U-S-of-A, at a place called ...
Real Canadian Bacon
You can get it sliced or in roasts. If you're well heeled enough, you can get it by the gross, if you want. I find it's not too far off of the "real" stuff, but with a lot of extra water added that cooks out. What I've not done (and should) is a whole roast, THEN sliced.
Anyway, chips-n-gravy, chips-n-curds, amazing steaks served with butter on top, and great game. That, along with some good produce in the summer puts off the "I can't be bothered with you" attitude you sometimes get in Toronto.
