A New England Must!
Rating:
5 / 5
I borrowed this book from my library since no one else had checked it out, and now it's on my Wish List! I'm NOT a great cook but I love seafood and I found the recipes to be pretty fast and straightforward. The section on Asian ingredients with photos is very helpful. We've especially liked the maple-ginger salmon and the sweet garlic pork. Can't wait to try the coconut shrimp chowder! This is that rare cookbook that is both beautiful AND practical, and makes great use of New England staples.
Inspirational delicacies that the whole family will enjoy

What really sets this book far ahead of others of this type is the simplicity of the recipes and accessibilty of the ingredients.DeMustchine provides shortcuts and substitutions without compromising the complex tastes of this cuisine. Can't wait to treat my friends. Wait, I want Bruce DeMustchine for my new best friend!
