Chesapeake Bay Cooking – the companion to the Public Television Series (John Shields)

Product Info

The cover notes (edited) say it well: “take a delicious tour with Shields along the Chesapeake's 4,600 miles of pristine coastline and through the bountiful farmlands of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. In Chesapeake Bay Cooking with John Shields, you will learn how to prepare 190 recipes from this mid-Atlantic region's culinary fare, including rockfish and gumbos, duck and Maryland fried chicken, beaten biscuits and the famous Lady Baltimore cake.  Best of all, you'll learn everything you need to know about crabs, including how to tell the difference between "jimmies" (male crabs) and "sooks" (female crabs).  Here are satisfying foods, easy-to-prepare recipes, and the people who've kept Chesapeake cuisine cooking for centuries--all brought home to you by the region's favorite son, John Shields.”  And, yes – you can find some of the 26 episodes of the original series on your computer!  On offer is a 1998 first edition with dust jacket, both in excellent condition.
