The Mystic cookbook

recipes, history, and seafaring lore

Edición de la obra The Mystic cookbook

"Mystic Seaport, the number one tourist destination in Connecticut is the home of all things about New England and the sea--including great seafood cooking. With more than one hundred great recipes, both historical and contemporary, simple and elaborate, for both seafood--oysters, clams, lobster, shrimp, cod, flounder, tuna, swordfish--and other dishes. Some of the recipes come from famous chefs and restaurants in the Mystic area; others were developed by the author. Vintage photos of tall ships and scenes from New England's seafaring past are interspersed with the recipes, and sidebars--on such topics as the role of fishing in Colonial America, how to prepare a classic clambake, and the lobster's peculiar culinary history--make this a perfect souvenir of Mystic Seaport."--Provided by publisher.
