Good Maine Food

Good Maine Food is the most comprehensive cookbook of Maine recipes ever written. Packed with more than 1200 authentic recipes for everything from chowder to cookies, this dense volume, originally published in 1939, offers the modern Maine cook tried-and-true techniques for foods that have fed and satisfied Mainers for generations. Plus, this handsome new edition features notes by food historian Sandra Oliver, author of Saltwater Foodways and editor of Food History News. Oliver peppers Mosser’s extensive recipe collection with a new foreword and dozens of notes explaining everything from how to procure cod tongue to the pervasive presence of veal in traditional recipes. As much a journey into Maine’s history as a foray into cooking, this updated edition of a Maine classic is a must-have for anyone that calls him- or herself a Maine cook.
