Winner, Taste Canada Gold Medal for Culinary NarrativeCommemorating
the two-hundredth anniversary of Sir John A. Macdonald's birth, Sir
John's Table is a refreshing look at Canada's first prime
minister.Sir John's Table traverses the colourful life of
Macdonald, from his passage as a young Scottish boy in the steerage
compartment aboard the Earl of Buckinghamshire to his new home in
Kingston, Upper Canada. It traces his boyhood years of stealing
fish and scarfing down fairy cakes into his adult life as a lawyer,
husband, father, and eventual leader of the newly founded dominion
of Canada. It was a journey that began with hardtack and
suspicious-looking, watered-down stew amidst appallingly unsanitary
conditions and culminated in grand dinners held in Macdonald's
honour.In a breezy and engaging style, author Lindy Mechefske
traces Macdonald's life through some of the common foods of the
day, from mutton, quince, and gooseberries to hare, cow heel, and
ox cheek. Along the way, she reveals how to concoct the fried
oysters served at the Charlottetown Conference and how a roast duck
dinner saved the dominion.
