Old recipes, like old friends, are usually most dependable, observes noted author Kenneth Roberts in his pithy introduction to this classic recipe compendium put together by his niece, Marjorie Mosser, in the 1930s. The long career of this bible of Maine cookery has proved him right. With Robert’s outspoken commentaries sprinkled throughout, excerpts from some of his best-selling books, and maxims from Maine kitchens, this old favorite is a must-own collection for any modern cook. Down East Books is proud to present this revamped edition-with a brand new foreword by food historian Sandra Oliver-as part of the all-new Best Maine Food cookbook series.

This is a wonderful compendium of recipes, helpful information, comments by Kenneth Roberts and Sandy Oliver…a book to keep by your chair, not on the cookbook shelf. Each time I open a page I find some new, interesting information. Often I find myself searching further for more! It draws one in. In addition to traditional cookbook recipes there are many recipes for native species-deer, squirrels, eel… and fiddleheads. This is a treasure.
