Maryland's Chesapeake

Maryland’s Chesapeake explores how the bounty of seafood found in the Chesapeake Bay influenced the culinary identity of Maryland. Starting with the Native Americans and continuing up to current efforts to preserve and revitalize the fish and crustacean populations, the book will illustrate the symbiotic relationship between the indigenous food sources and those who choose to live along the Chesapeake’s shores. Along with an historical tour of the region, the book will provide both traditional recipes and recipes from today’s chefs who put a modern spin on the classics.
