Book excerpt: Adapted from over a dozen recorded interviews with those who have most intimately seen and shaped the evolution of the Port of St. John's, A Beautiful Sight is a unique glimpse into one of the most storied harbours in North America. The picturesque port is an enduring symbol of Newfoundlanders' inextricable link to the sea. Indeed, it was the geographic features of St. John's harbour that encouraged initial settlement here, the starting point from which the city expanded. But the legacy of the growth of the port is a unique history unto itself. Playing a major role in the international salt fish trade, the port has been a safe haven for fishermen in the North Atlantic since at least the 1500s, and it later proved a strategic position in WWII during the Battle of the Atlantic. Since then, it has successfully evolved for newer industries and technologies, most notably as a supply base for offshore oilfields as well the largest containerized cargo handling port in Newfoundland and Labrador. Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the port's incorporation under the federal government's jurisdiction, this book traces the oral history of the port in the twentieth century. Stories collected from: Robert Innes David Fox John Crosbie Miller Ayre Captain Sid Hynes Ches Sweetapple Glenn Critch Len Kenny J. P. Andrieux Ed Anthony Albert Burgess Bill Rompkey Rob Strong

Book excerpt: 'The Book of St John is too witty to be a manifesto, but it is a sturdy invocation of the need for comfort, generosity and ritual at the table. And it is a gurglingly delightful compendium of - quite simply - delicious ideas and stories' Nigella Lawson 'An unutterable joy from the team behind one of the most influential and important restaurants in Britain ... This is much more than a book of recipes, though (glorious as they are). It’s also about the importance of the table, of feasting, of friendship, of the white cloth napkin on your knee. And it sings of simple but wonderful pleasures: a bacon sandwich and a glass of cider, a doughnut and a glass of champagne.’ Diana Henry, The Telegraph 'The Book of St. JOHN, part food gospel, part memoir, part recipe book.' Observer Food Monthly Join the inimitable Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver as they welcome you into their world-famous restaurant, inviting you to celebrate 25 years of unforgettable, innovative food. Established in 1994, St. JOHN has become renowned for its simplicity, its respect for quality ingredients and for being a pioneer in zero waste cooking – they strive to use every part of an ingredient, from leftover stale bread for puddings, bones for broths and stocks, to typically unused parts of the animal (such as the tongue) being made the hero of a dish. Recipes include: Braised rabbit, mustard and bacon Ox tongue, carrots and caper sauce Duck fat toast Smoked cod’s roe, egg and potato cake Confit suckling pig shoulder and dandelion The Smithfield pickled cucumbers St. JOHN chutney Butterbean, rosemary and garlic wuzz Honey and bay rice pudding Featuring all the best-loved seminal recipes as well as comprehensive menus and wine recommendations, Fergus and Trevor will take a look back at the ethos and working practices of a food dynasty that has inspired a generation of chefs and home cooks.

Book excerpt: During World War II St. John's, Newfoundland, played a critical role in the fight against Nazi Germany. Seamen from all over the world sailed to and from the old seaport, chosen for duty because it was closest to Europe and because its people knew both the peril and glory of the North Atlantic. In his introduction to this absorbing collection of stories, Bill Rompkey examines the city's yeoman service to one of the most famous battles in military history and the effect it had on the people of St. John's. The stories that follow provide an inside look at life in Newfoundland during this challenging time.

Book excerpt: "The Portuguese White Fleet, whose name derived from its vessels' white hulls, is an important part of Newfoundland and Labrador history. Gaspar Corte-Real's followers had been fishing off the Grand Banks for more than 400 years, but it was not until the 1900s that Portuguese fishermen began persecuting the North American cod fishery in force. When these ships made calls to St. John's, the sailors and fishermen became a prominent part of the city's way of life. However, the year 1955 marked the end of an era for the Portuguese White Fleet when Canada began to protest foreign overfishing and exploitation of its fishery. Following a bitter international dispute over territorial fishing grounds, the last ship of the White Fleet left St. John's on July 23, 1974. The White Fleet by J. P. Andrieux is a pictorial history of the centuries-long relationship between the Newfoundland and Portuguese fisheries."--P. [4] of cover.
