Co-authors Martha Griffin (former chef/owner of the Kennebunkport Inn) and Brooks MacDonald (owner and executive chef at Hurricane Restaurants) have taught at and operated the Kennebunkport School of Cookery for over 15 years. For the book, they taste-tested hundreds of lobster recipes in search of the 45 best. Presented with four short tales by travel writer Valerie Tamis ( featuring her adventures on a lobster boat, how modernization has affected a coastal fishing village and a swashbuckling yarn of a rum-running incident in Perkins Cove), these recipes range from a simply boiled lobster to a "how-to" for a full-blown, traditional Down East clambake. This 100-page cookbook features color photographs and will stand as the definitive reference for cooks in the selection, cooking and enjoyment of the crusty crustacean we have all come to know and love.
