I don't know about Nova Scotia but I do have New Brunswick recipes that was passed down and one is an old old 13/14the Century fruit cake which is loaded with fruit, nuts and booze, lots of booze. It is one of the moist's cakes ever and when ever I make it I have a lot of people asking for it. Have a very good brown oatmeal bread too.
Then I have one of the easiest WW2 Norwegian white bread.
I also have an old Canadian cook book.
