SPUDS! DULSE! FIDDLEHEADS!

Where’s it found? Is it in season? How is it prepared? Discover the secrets of the many traditional, local ingredients that create that special Maritime flavour.

We have a bounty of food around us, but in order to enjoy it, we have to know what our farmers, fisherman and foragers have known for so long—where to find local food in season, and how it’s best prepared.

Judith Comfort leads us from U-picks and farmers’ markets, through backwoods and waters, to the church supper and home again—all in search of a true Maritime feast.

Included here are 47 kitchens tested recipes and many secrets on the right way to prepare and serve a harvest of the fruits, vegetables, seafood, game, and other traditional flavours of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
