fancy a dirty weekend? the travels of a navvies' cook by Anne Nichols

One woman's story of her life amongst a group of waterways restoration enthusiasts, known as navvies. Unsuited to the physical activities of navvying, she offered her catering skills to the group, travelling round the country in the back of a van, feeding anything from 6 to 1000 people at a time. It offers an insight into the world of the volunteer movement on the canal network as seen through the eyes of the woman who kept them very well fed.

Written by Anne Nichols (the founder of BurtonWeb) the book chronicles a decade of feeding hungry canal restoration volunteers during the 1990s. Included are some of her recipes as used on the canal camps.
