This book contains stories, traditions, and recipes of Newfoundland in a never seen volume of this kind. It is a book that is filled with mouth-watering recipes and photos that will transform your kitchen into a beautiful place.
Many homes in Newfoundland still hold well-stocked pantries of bottled moose or rabbit, freezers of corned capelin, and eider ducks at the ready. This book celebrates the land and these foods as well as where these foods come from.
I had no idea that Newfoundland has its own cuisine. It is unbelievable to think that there is so much that is so unique and wonderful about Newfoundland. I naively believed before reading this book that there was mostly great seafood. But there is so much more.
The authors worked diligently to collect, cook, and celebrate the wild foods of Newfoundland. This book showcases their experiences and shares the stories they have captured through their work and the people they've met. Through it all runs a deep love for their home and everything that goes into living in Newfoundland.
This book leads readers through a one-year food journey. Fish are caught, game hunted, berries and plants foraged. Food is prepared, preserved, and enjoyed. Throughout are recipes for traditional dishes. Regional delicacies, and exquisite modern preparations for today's home cook.
This is a wonderful book that will make you think twice before assuming that Newfoundland has a simple cuisine.
