Maine Mapmaker's Kitchen |
| Detailed Description |
|
If you don't know Jane, she's been a copy editor here at WoodenBoat for quite awhile. She's also a mapmaker, and yes, a good cook, collaborating with her husband, Richard Washburn, a boatbuilder at Brooklin Boat Yard. While magazine staff would slap their lunches together in the WoodenBoat kitchen... we'd watch Jane create gorgeous salads or heat up her oh-so savory leftovers. This collection of 350 favorite recipes includes a harvest of down-to-earth home economies, food-related reveries, and camp-kitchen wisdom. Drawing on food traditions and cuisines from Downeast and around the world, Maine Mapmaker's Kitchen speaks to creative cooks, home gardeners, and anyone who enjoys eating well at home, camp, and on waterborne adventures. The recipes featuring natural and local ingredients (if you know Jane, this hardly needs saying) are complemented by practical sidebars on growing, harvesting, preserving, and preparing food. Like symbols on a map, four recipe icons highlight whether a dish is camp-friendly, vegetarian, "recyclable," or a chance to use up leftovers. Thoughtfully written and designed, the cookbook is charmingly illustrated with over 100 original ink drawings and photographs. Special features include a laminated cover with scuff-proof matte finish; lay-flat perfect binding; (kitchen-counter friendly) and a comprehensive index to recipes and ingredients. (Another Jane extreme-talent is indexing.) Buy two. Make her go back on press sooner rather than later.
