For almost 150 years until the late twentieth century, French Onion Johnnies (or 'Ingan Johnnies', as they were usually known in Scotland) were a familiar group of seasonal workers in towns and cities throughout Britain. In this book, nine Onion Johnnies (including one 'Jenny') who worked in Scotland at one time or another between the 1920s and the 1970s recount their lives. The recollections, recorded in interviews in Brittany and at Leith in 1999 by the Scottish Working People's History Trust, provide a fascinating insight into the lives and experience of those whose livelihood and way of life have vanished forever. It paints a poignant picture of the past and a way of life about nothing in any detail has ever been published before.

Stapleton may be dead, but the West Country still feels the effects of his crimes. Sir Henry Baskerville has asked Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Lestrade to resolve a peculiar little problem: one of Stapleton's victims has died and her heirs have a very different idea of how to plead damages. The question begs: what is Abraham Quantock's real motive for demanding the deed to Merripit House? And why are the gossipy villagers suddenly silent? The only ones in a position to notice anything are the Onion Johnnies...and who would ask the likes of them for information? This is a Canonical Sherlock Holmes Pastiche.

The Roscoff Johnnies Starting from his childhood in Roscoff, then going on to 1951 when Olivier SZitZ first became a Johnny at almost 15 selling onions in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, with his father and family, and continuing up till his recent death in 2013, I have tried to capture the importance that this commerce has had on not only our own lives, but on the life and economy of almost every family in Roscoff. I have added photos showing family life and work, plus a few recipes using our delicious Oignons RosZs (Pink Onions) which I hope you all find of interest. Anne SZitZ

Download Secret Anchorages of Brittany Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Secret Anchorages of Brittany provides concise pilotage directions for practically all the natural anchorages along the Brittany coast, from the Bay of Mont St Michel round to the great estuary of the Loire. As with the first edition, the anchorages start near Cap de la Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula and include Iles Chausey. The book enters Brittany waters near Cancale and follows the whole 300-mile coastline, with its rivers, estuaries and offshore islands, looking into every nook and cranny on the way. This stylish second edition includes many new anchorages and is lavishly illustrated in colour, while the anchorage charts have been redrawn and verified against the Admiralty or French SHOM charts. The pilotage sections are peppered with short features on the maritime traditions, life and history of this inimitable coast. Peter Cumberlidge is a well known writer and photographer who cruises widely under sail and power. He always returns to Brittany with affection and the new Secret Anchorages reflects his sympathy for this fabulous cruising area, the people who live here and the superlative seafood for which the coast is justly renowned.

Download Onions and Garlic Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Look at any recipe for a savory dish and chances are it will start with this step: fry onions in a pan over medium heat. Onions—and their allium family relatives, shallots, garlic, chives, and leeks—are one of the most heavily used ingredients in cuisines all over the world. You’ll rarely find them in the spotlight, though—except for when they are fried into rings or used to repel vampires. In this book, Martha Jay gives alliums their due, offering an illuminating history of these cherished plants that follows the trail of their aromas to every corner of the globe and from ancient times up to today. Going back to the earliest recipes from ancient Mesopotamia, Jay traces the spread of alliums along trade routes through Central Asia and into ancient Greece and Rome. Likewise she follows their spread in East Asia, where they have become indispensable, and of course into Europe and the Americas, where the onion—and its odor—gave rise to the name “Chicago” and the leek became the national symbol of Wales. Celebrated, denigrated, prescribed, and proscribed, onions, garlic, and their relatives can be found—as Jay lavishly demonstrates—in the histories of peasants and kings, in cuisine and art, in tales of colonization and those of resistance, and in medicinal cures and magical potions alike. Her book is a welcome celebration of some of the most important ingredients in the world.
