In \u003ci\u003eThe New Chesapeake Kitchen\u003c\/i\u003e, celebrated Maryland chef John Shields takes the best of what grows, swims, or grazes in the Bay's watershed and prepares it simply, letting the pure flavors shine through. Honoring the farmers, watermen, butchers, cheese makers, and foragers who make the food movement around the Chesapeake Bay watershed possible, along with the environmental and food organizations working to restore the Bay, the land, and food security, Shields promotes a healthy locavore diet and a holistic view of community foodways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this scrumptious book, enhanced with beautiful full-color images by former \u003ci\u003eBaltimore Sun Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e photographer David W. Harp, Shields urges readers to choose local, seasonal ingredients. Presenting what he dubs \"Bay- and body-friendly food,\" he advocates for a plant-forward and sustainable diet, one that considers how food consumption affects both your health and the environment. Shields presents creative and healthy options that nourish us while protecting the Bay, including one-pot recipes for meals like Fishing Creek Seafood Chili, Old Line Veggie Creole Oyster Stew, and Spring Pea Soup with Tarragon-Truffle Oil. To round it out, this holistic cookbook includes directions for canning, preserving, and fermenting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShields offers many vegan- and vegetarian-friendly options, as well as innovative new takes on Chesapeake classics. You'll find recipes for dozens of delicious dishes, from Aunt Bessie's Crab Pudding and Hutzler's Cheese Bread to \"I Can't Believe It's Not Crab\" Cakes, Blue Cat Seafood Hash, and an array of savory soups, braised meats, luscious desserts, and green breakfast smoothies--even recipes for a locavore cocktail party!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Shields\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421426501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421426501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 9.30w x 0.80d","brand":"John Shields","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991976771839,"sku":"9781421426501","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a81ad4d-7794-4715-b075-25f2af710998.jpg?v=1683313328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-chesapeake-kitchen-john-shields-9781421426501","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
