Maine Classics by Barbara Fairchild

Maine Classics by Barbara Fairchild

Maine food is about putting on a bib and getting messy with lobster in the summer. In the winter, it's about tossing brisket and potatoes in a pot on the back of the woodstove. Maine Classics brings the carefree spirit of those who work the land and sea to life. More than 150 simple, straightforward dishes are organized by the shore, the sea, the forest, the farm, the garden, the dairy, and the bakery. Celebrate Maine's bounty with recipes such as Ham with Fried Apples, Corn Fritters with Maple Syrup, Classic Lobster Rolls, and Pickled Fiddlehead Ferns. Stories of farmers, lobstermen, cheesemakers, and old-school bakers "infuse our cooking and inspire us to explore our own culinary legacies," say award-winning authors Mark and Clark. Chock-full of full-colour photographs, this cookbook is definitely a Maine classic.

Mariani's Virtual Gourmet Newsletter, Vol IX "Award-winning chefs Gaier and Frasier, of Arrows Restaurant in Ogunquit, Maine, were among the first restaurateurs to showcase the true bounty of the New England cornucopia, and this highly instructive book shows why the food of that region is so extraordinarily rich and by necessity tied so intimately to the seasonsThere is good info on foraging, on "How to Eat a Lobster," and the essential herbs to plant for a garden. Then come irresistible recipes--johnnycakes with peekytoe crab, classic lobster rolls, cod cakes with tartar sauce, Yankee pot roast, and Whoopie pies, all old fashioned dishes made with a professional's eye towards finesse but without over-refinement." Providence Journal "I can't think of any other book I'd pick up on the search for wonderful, seasonal recipes before reaching for Maine Classics. ... amazing photos... a good read as well as guide to cooking a wonderful seasonal meal, whatever the season." Herald News, 7/20/11 "...a fascinating read about the Maine way of life as much as a collection of distinctive recipes."
