Product Review
Deborah Benoit McGarry grew up in a New England family fiercely committed to traditional chowders. This meant only five ingredients went into the heavy pot that was usually simmering in the kitchen: seafood, potatoes, milk or cream, onions, and salt pork or butter. McGarry still lives on Cape Cod, but in Fine Kettles of Fish, she shows the enthusiasm of a new convert for using ingredients her family shunned, including tomatoes, wine, wild rice, and more. Her writing reflects a lively interest in seafood traditions, be they from China, Canada, or the Carolinas--anywhere and everywhere sea-kissed soups, stews, or chowders are made. Excerpts about seafood from literary works by Melville, Thoreau, and other Northeasterners add to the appeal of this opinionated book.
