The latest cookbook by the "Culinary Ambassador of the Chesapeake"
encourages us to cook in a way that is not only healthy for us but
also for the Bay. Captain John Smith, upon entering the Chesapeake,
wrote in his diaries that the fish were so plentiful "we attempted
to catch them with a frying pan." That method sums up classic
Chesapeake cooking-fresh and simple. In The New Chesapeake Kitchen,
celebrated Maryland chef John Shields takes the best of what grows,
swims, or grazes in the Bay's watershed and prepares it simply,
letting the pure flavors shine through. Honoring the farmers,
watermen, butchers, cheese makers, and foragers who make the food
movement around the Chesapeake Bay watershed possible, along with
the environmental and food organizations working to restore the
Bay, the land, and food security, Shields promotes a healthy
locavore diet and a holistic view of community foodways. In this
scrumptious book, enhanced with beautiful full-color images by
former Baltimore Sun Magazine photographer David W. Harp, Shields
urges readers to choose local, seasonal ingredients. Presenting
what he dubs "Bay- and body-friendly food," he advocates for a
plant-forward and sustainable diet, one that considers how food
consumption affects both your health and the environment. Shields
presents creative and healthy options that nourish us while
protecting the Bay, including one-pot recipes for meals like
Fishing Creek Seafood Chili, Old Line Veggie Creole Oyster Stew,
and Spring Pea Soup with Tarragon-Truffle Oil. To round it out,
this holistic cookbook includes directions for canning, preserving,
and fermenting. Shields offers many vegan- and vegetarian-friendly
options, as well as innovative new takes on Chesapeake classics.
You'll find recipes for dozens of delicious dishes, from Aunt
Bessie's Crab Pudding and Hutzler's Cheese Bread to "I Can't
Believe It's Not Crab" Cakes, Blue Cat Seafood Hash, and an array
of savory soups, braised meats, luscious desserts, and green
breakfast smoothies-even recipes for a locavore cocktail party!
