The van was the Lindsay's home during a journey across eleven
countries from August 1968 to end of May 1969. Their travels in
Scotland, England and Spain are detailed in their first book,
Hungry Hearts. In this sequel, Ann brings to life the aesthetics of
commerce in the marketplaces of France, Italy, Austria,
Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and Denmark.
Travelling in the van with a gas burner allowed them to truly eat
local: * a casserole of Camarague rice along the Camarague delta *
fish soup in Marseille * mortadella ravioli in Bologna *
Sachertorte in Vienna * fondue in the Swiss Alps * Black Forest
cake in the Black Forest * Brot mit Wurst in Germany * Edam cheese
with genever in Edam They slept with a circus troupe in France;
under snow drifts in the Alps; beside a panther in Hamburg. Enough
memories to keep their hearts forever young. Back in Canada, the
van hauled furniture, books and cookware to set up Ann McColl's
Kitchen Utensils and Victoriana two months after their return,
August 1969, on Dundas Street, London, Ontario.

In 1968, David and Ann Lindsay traded the confines of the classroom
and a red brick bungalow in Windsor for a year of travel that
changed their lives. Experiences while camping in the U.K. and
Europe suggested new careers. Upon returning to Canada, they opened
Ann McColl's Kitchen Shop which operated successfully until their
retirement in 2001. The freedom of the open road introduced new
approaches to marketing and eating at every turn. Along with Ann's
journal entries and David's photographs, over eighty recipes,
inspired by these adventures, are included in this Food Odyssey: /
New Year's Day in Cardinal Wolsey's Great Tudor Kitchens /
marmalade makers in a caravan site / mussels in cream sauce beside
a peat fire / following the Canterbury pilgrims from the Tabard Inn
/ three spirits hovering over the crepe suzettes on Christmas Eve /
a five-foot paella cooking on a beach fire / the theatre of food
preparation in open Spanish kitchens / the exuberance of the
marketplace / Aberdeen fishing fleet unloading their silvery haul
at sunrise / fresh salmon and single malt by a highland stream /
feeding squid and octopus innards to campsite cats / gaining ten
pounds of body weight on the Tea Shop Trail / taking the cure in
Bath / caravan sites on isolated Spanish beaches / El Greco's green
and russet tiled cucina in Toledo / a carver cutting thistles on
rounds from Braemar tree trunks / sailing down the Clyde for fish
and chips at the Cowal Games in Dunoon / clootie dumpling simmering
on a coal-fed range / feeding pennies into the gas meter to keep
the beef daube simmering / the Brighton Pavilion gleaming for a
soiree / finding a rabbit tied to the door knob

Welcome to our kitchens in London's historic core. Growing and
preparing food has been a Woodfield preoccupation since the
founding of this city. We can still walk or bicycle to farmers'
markets, independent grocers and vegetable gardening plots. More
than a collection of favourite recipes, Woodfield Cooks is a
biographical cookbook that brings the people of this downtown
community to life.This collection offers an alphabetical cornucopia
- from apple soup to zucchini gratin. Our culinary heritage, rooted
in traditions, has grown into an international smorgasbord of
global dishes. We celebrate our differences in the exciting
flavours of the world's cuisines. Woodfielders delight in sharing
food with others. Whether it is an informal meal with friends, a
casserole carried to a neighbour in need, a hot meal for the
homeless or a holiday banquet, you'll find recipes for all of these
in a book that COOKS.
