A history of the family-owned, Nova Scotia beach canteen and two sisters determined to show their father that women can also be successful. “Everyone remembers the famous food at Gladee’s Canteen, especially Gladee’s fish and chips and her coconut cream pie.” —Calvin Trillin Gladee’s Canteen, several times voted as one of the ten best restaurants in Canada, was a special example of co-operative and communal spirit. At the centre of the operation were Gladee and her sister Flossie, supported by the extended Hirtle family. They offered a warm welcome and a memorable menu, in a setting brashly open to the forces of nature. The Legend of Gladee’s Canteen tells the story of a popular Nova Scotia beach and a pioneer family who, against the odds, constructed a simple canteen at Hirtle’s Beach in 1951 and ran it for forty years. The book draws on the author’s family associations, personal memory, and the outlying stockpile of collective recollections—a tapestry of events woven through the evolutionary fabric of a small, relatively isolated Maritime coastal community. The era of Gladee’s Canteen is remarkable story that takes place in a small coastal Nova Scotia community blessed with a spectacularly dynamic living beach. In its time, the Hirtle family and its sparkling enterprise thrived in spite of relative isolation, uncertain funding, and domestic demons. As a Nova Scotia epic, the success story of Gladee’s Canteen mirrors the recent history of Hirtle’s Beach, exemplifying the twists and turns locked up in legend. “A Maritime tale of family success and love. . . . History lovers should be sure to pick this one up off the shelves.” —Atlantic Books
In search of "the best America there ever was," bestselling author and award-winning journalist Bob Greene finds it in a small Nebraska town few people pass through today—a town where Greene discovers the echoes of the most touching love story imaginable: a love story between a country and its sons. During World War II, American soldiers from every city and walk of life rolled through North Platte, Nebraska, on troop trains en route to their ultimate destinations in Europe and the Pacific. The tiny town, wanting to offer the servicemen warmth and support, transformed its modest railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen. Every day of the year, every day of the war, the Canteen—staffed and funded entirely by local volunteers—was open from five a.m. until the last troop train of the day pulled away after midnight. Astonishingly, this remote plains community of only 12,000 people provided welcoming words, friendship, and baskets of food and treats to more than six million GIs by the time the war ended. In this poignant and heartwarming eyewitness history, based on interviews with North Platte residents and the soldiers who once passed through, Bob Greene tells a classic, lost-in-the-mists-of-time American story of a grateful country honoring its brave and dedicated sons.
Canteen took the London restaurant scene by storm in 2005. Here was a restaurant serving proper British food - devilled kidneys on toast, potted duck, pork pies, and treacle tart - with passion and pride. Their no-nonsense, modern-meets-classic menu has brought good British cooking to the high street once more, and prompted the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Terence Conran and gastropubs around the country to follow suit. Unapologetically nostalgic, their first, much-anticipated cookbook is a splendidly comforting collection of 120 British dishes, including steak and kidney pie, Arbroath smokies, blackcurrant jelly with ice cream and shortbread, and rhubarb and almond trifle. Canteen is hugely popular with people of all ages, who just love good food. And with people keen to cook simple, economical and hearty family meals 'like Grandma used to make', Canteen's modern classics could not be more timely. Featuring innovative design and photography, and traditional recipes that helped to make Britain great, Great British Food will bring a touch of foodie nostalgia to kitchens country-wide.
Building on Bourdieu's theory of capitals, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the social stratification of food consumption in Italy, with a special focus on the role of the school canteen as a possible enhancer of children's dietary compliance. Making use of large survey data, semi-structured interviews with parents, and long ethnographic fieldwork in four primary school canteens, the study presents new insights on the ways inequalities shape eating and feeding practices between home and school.
Having retired after a teaching career of more than thirty years, having taught across multiple grade levels and various content areas, The Collapse of the Church: Reversing the Challenges That Threaten the Gospel Message is the product of an enriching ministry experience in the local church, having served as a teacher, deacon, and pianist for both Spanish-speaking and English-speaking congregations. It is a research-based study with a pragmatic and practical perspective on the current needs and issues of the believers of the twenty-first century. The gospel message is clear, and the members of the body of Christ have a responsibility to "encourage one another and build each other up" (1 Thess. 5:11 NIV). The message of our Lord Jesus Christ is as real today as it was centuries ago: "I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest" (John 4:35 NIV), and this includes believers in the local churches. Many believers in the local congregations need the support of other members of the body of Christ, an attitude and practice that has been neglected and abandoned for superficial religious activities. Observe and listen to their silent cries as revealed in The Collapse of the Church: Reversing the Challenges That Threaten the Gospel Message. Jesus knew the importance of reaching out to those who were in distress, debilitated, and desolate: "Now he had to go through Samaria" (John 4:4 NIV). In Samaria, he met the Samaritan woman, and through her, her village and her town received the good news about the Messiah: "Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony" (John 4:39 NIV). His own disciples were blind to her need; they were subject to the day's misconceptions and misinterpretations and biases. Many believers in the local congregations are experiencing similar hurts. Paul said, "Carry each other's burdens," and, "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers" (Gal. 6:2, 10 NIV). The Collapse of the Church: Reversing the Challenges That Threaten the Gospel Message is an invitation to attend to the needs of individuals who have been abandoned, forgotten, and rejected by addressing their spiritual, social, emotional, psychological, and financial needs. Solomon said, "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act" (Prov. 3:27-28 NIV).
A tasty oral history In 2018, Janis Thiessen, Kimberley Moore, and collaborator Kent Davies refashioned a used food truck into a mobile oral history lab. Together they embarked on a journey around Manitoba, gathering stories about the province’s food and the people who make, sell, and eat it. Along the way, they visited restaurant owners, beer brewers, grocers, farmers, scholars, and chefs in their kitchens and businesses, online, and on board the food truck. The team conducted nearly seventy interviews and indulged in a bounty of prairie delicacies, from Winnipeg’s “Fat Boys” to Steinbach’s perogies to Churchill’s cloudberry jam. Thiessen and Moore serve up the results of this research in mmm... Manitoba. Mixing recipes, maps, archival records, biographies, and full-colour photographs with fascinating stories, they showcase the province’s diverse food histories. Through the sharing and preparing of food, the authors investigate food security and regulation, Indigenous foodways and agriculture, capitalism’s impact on the agri-food industry, and the networks between Manitoban food producers and retailers. The book also explores the roles of gender, ethnicity, migration, and colonialism in Manitoba’s food history. Hop on the Manitoba Food History Truck and journey into the province’s past with engaging essays and easy-to-follow recipes for kjielkje and schmauntfat, snow goose tidbits, chicken karaage, the Salisbury House flapper pie, duck fat smashed potatoes, Ichi Ban cocktails, pork inihaw, and more. mmm... Manitoba offers a thoughtfully nuanced, deliciously digestible, and wholly unique regional history that is sure to satisfy.
