Dorothy McMillan Books

The debut cookbook from one of the most celebrated restaurants in Canada, featuring inventive twists on French market cuisine, plus spirited anecdotes and lush photography. Earning rave reviews for their unforgettable approach, Joe Beef co-owners/chefs David McMillan and Frédéric Morin push the limits of traditional French cuisine with over 125 recipes (nearly all of them photographed) for hearty dishes infused with irreverent personality. The Strip Loin Steak comes complete with ten variations, Kale for a Hangover wisely advises the cook to eat and then go to bed, and the Marjolaine includes tips for welding your own cake mold. Joe Beef’s most popular dishes are also represented, such as Spaghetti Homard-Lobster, Foie Gras Breakfast Sandwich, Pork Fish Sticks, and Pojarsky de Veau (a big, moist meatball served on a bone). The coup de grâce is the Smorgasbord—Joe Beef’s version of a Scandinavian open-faced sandwich—with thirty different toppings. Featuring lively stories and illustrations showcasing gangsters, oysters, Canadian railroad dining car food, the backyard smoker, and more, this nostalgic yet utterly modern cookbook is a groundbreaking guide to living an outstanding culinary life.

The Richard Matthewman Stories [Paperback] McMillan, Ian and Whiley, Martyn

A puddle, lighthouses, the financial crisis (in three parts) or seeing a goal scored from a passing train, these typically sharp-eyed and brilliantly inventive McMillan poems often can't help being very funny, while also being, as usual, more serious than they seem, and more hurt.

Following the hugely successful 101 Uses for a Yorkshire Pudding and 101 Uses for a Flat Cap comes the latest installment in this uproariously funny series from Ian McMillan, yet again humorously interpreted and brought vibrantly to life by Tony Husband's superb cartoons! When music hall star Jessie Klondyke, the Scarborough Warbler, famously warbled 'I can find my way into your heart, but I can't find my way into your wallet' she was of course warbling about her beloved husband, Bill. For throughout history, Yorkshiremen have been labelled as being 'tight with their brass' by those who lack a true appreciation of a tyke's deep and emotional attachment to his wallet! The 'Bard of Barnsley' Ian McMillan, and Tony Husband, one of the country's leading cartoonists, utilise their vivid imaginations to prove that a Yorkshireman's Wallet is much more than just a receptacle for second-class stamps or a breeding ground for moths!

A history of Yorkshire through the photographs of Ian Beesley and the poetry of Ian McMillan.

Since 2008, author, poet and presenter Ian McMillan and award-winning cartoonist Tony Husband have entertained readers of Dalesman magazine with their unique, humorous take on life in the White Rose county. Now, for the first time, these columns are brought together in one hilarious volume. You'll learn all about the essence of Yorkshireness, find out how to 'dress proper' and the correct way to greet a Yorkshireman. You'll discover the secret of the perfect cup of Yorkshire tea and learn why the flat cap is always 'on trend' in God's Own Country. 'Yorkshireness is more than an accident of birth and an ability to whip up a Yorkshire pudding because you've got Yorkshire wrists,' says Ian. 'It's a state of mind.'

Hotly-anticipated new collection from one of Britain's most treasured living poets

Classroom 3 has an unexpected adventure when Captain Calamity shows up looking for treasure in their classroom! But can the class pull together to find it before Pirate Bloodloss catches up and steals the treasure away?

In the latest in the Real series, poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan (the Bard of Barnsley) explores his home patch, the moors, the pits, the post-industrial landscape that has swapped mining for heritage, and much, much more. Written with characteristic humour and insight, this is a delightful guide to a place and how it made him who he is today.

A late night thief is found dead on the redwood deck of Elizabeth and Andy Rosemond's beach house. The thief is a victim of one of the most unusual deaths that the police and coroner have ever seen. The man apparently lost every ounce of his blood in only a few minutes. The autopsy shows his blood was pushed out of his body violently-from the inside. Detective Ted Bearbower takes over the case and finds himself overwhelmed by the familiar area and circumstances which he feared mirrored those of the grisly Brownstone serial killer. Brownstone killed his partner. Ted killed Brownstone. Ted has trouble turning loose of the deep fear that Brownstone still existed and that his hideous killings were starting again.
