Dishing Up(R) Maryland: 150 Recipes from the Alleghenies to the Chesapeake Bay

In addition to great recipes, the book has fantastic pictures and makes Maryland look way better than I ever thought of it, not that living here is bad in any way. At any rate, I gave the book to a friend in South Carolina and may buy a copy for myself. It's that nice.

This is a marvelous book written well by Lucie Snodgrass with fine photography by Edwin Remsberg,themselves outstanding Marylanders in which you meet people from each Maryland county.Those who produce a variety of foods as produce ,meats ,dairy products,seafood ,and gives recipes for them . It is delightfully done so that one wants to try the given recipes along with fine accompanying pictures of the food,that has real eye appeal, or people who produce it .It makes you want to try many recipes. I think that they are practical and will be fun to do. To me it is a joy to "meet " people state- wide and know of all the good food types produced in our great State. We should buy more locally for good health sake. I was so excited to get a copy and read through itand make a recipe or buy a certain food, that I have bought several for gifts and planon purchasing more.Thank youBetty DeColigny

Good recipes, easy to make. For those of us who enjoy local produce from farmers' markets, that the recipes are organized by season is a big plus. Seafood recipes using Maryland's own crabs and oysters (and more!) also a plus. Informative and interesting descriptions of specific Maryland farmers and producers.

I bought this book as a gift for my French host parents when I studied abroad. They loved it and I loved it! There was a lot of information in there about Maryland agriculture and food.

This is a wonderful cookbook, especially for someone who is from the State, and is very interested in cooking some of the popular region's dishes. Some of the recipes may seem to be a bit complicated, but there are tie-ins to several recipes that make life easier.
