Sir John’s Table traverses the colourful life of Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. 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. 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. $19.95 https://gooselane.com/products/sir-johns-table
