Bluenose : on board a legend / by Devyn Kaizer ; photography by Peter Zwicker. Halifax, NS : Formac Publishing Company Limited, 2018. 72 pages : illustrations (some colour), portraits (some colour) ; 23 cm.
Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - VM395 B5 K33 2018
This book documents the beautiful Tall Ship Bluenose, now a sailing ambassador for the province of Nova Scotia, and tells the dramatic story of the battles and triumphs of original Bluenose. The original Bluenose, built in Lunenburg and launched in 1921, was designed to combine a career as a racing ship with the working role fishing the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. Its captain, Angus Walters, took Bluenose to five international sailing races, and was undefeated for seventeen years. By the 1930s, the vessel's achievements made it an icon for Nova Scotia and an important Canadian symbol. The newly-restored replica, the Bluenose II, represents the wooden shipbuilding achievements and the dory-based cod fishery traditions of Nova Scotia. This book offers an interpretive guide of the ship and its complex traditional equipment. It also tells the story of the original Bluenose, with many historic photographs of the ship and its crew aboard the most famous Tall Ship in Canada in this souvenir of a vessel whose history and allure continues to captivate to this day. Includes index.

Adventures in bubbles and brine : what I learned from Nova Scotia's masters of fermented foods - craft beer, cider, cheese, sauerkraut and more / by Philip Moscovitch. Halifax : Formac Publishing Company Limited, 2019. 208 pages : color photographs ; 23 cm.
Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - TX827.5 M67 2019
There is something seemingly magical about fermentation - microscopic organisms acting on fruits, vegetables and grains and completely transforming their properties. Fermentation produces wonderful flavours, connects us to local producers, is good for our health and is a direct link with local cultures - both the culture steeped in history and tradition, and the microscopic live cultures embedded in our fermented foods. Philip Moscovitch travelled Nova Scotia to discover today's practitioners of the art of food fermentation. He found traditional sauerkraut makers still at work on Tancook Island and cider makers working with old techniques and 100-year-old apple varieties. But he also found dozens of newly-established breweries and wineries, sausage makers bringing French traditions to the province, and cheese makers creating innovative and unique local cheeses. He offers sample recipes featuring local ingredients to allow for experimenting in the kitchen with products that are not all that complicated to make, and which lend themselves to endless variations. This book introduces the new wave of fermenters in Nova Scotia who are creating delicious products using local ingredients, and encourages readers to try fermentation for themselves. Includes bibliographical references and index.
