Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I live in this part of the country, and I absolutely loved this compilation of recipes. The Mid-Atlantic is a varied region, but the authors have included recipes from cookbooks that cover many of the area's specialties. As always with this series, I have yet to find a recipe that does not come out well. I have made several of the cakes and they were all superb (esp. the One-Step Poundcake). There are also several very good crabcake recipes and one of the best Eggplant Parmesan recipes I've ever tried.
The seafood recipes in this book are a particular strength, which is appropriate for this region. In addition to the crabcakes, I would recommend the Maryland Oyster Bake and the crab salad stuffed tomatoes (wonderful on a hot summer day).
If you want a taste of real Mid-Atlantic cooking, please give this book a try. You won't be disappointed!
