There’s no better way to experience fine hospitality than by visiting a country inn. If you’re a guest of Saint John’s Inn on the Cove, you can also treat yourself to beautifully prepared meals. In Tide’s Table, innkeepers Ross and Willa Mavis have created the ultimate Maritime cookbook, updating traditional Maritime recipes and adding hundreds of new ones. An ideal companion from morning until night, Tide’s Table reflects the Mavises’ relaxed sense of hospitality. Included in the book are recipes for everything from simple entrées to holiday fare, including a traditional plum pudding that even Martha Stewart would admire. Willa, the “Queen of Condiments” according to CBC Radio’s Vicki Gabereau, leads readers through the preparation of pickles and relishes. A new version of chow chow, a spicy chilli sauce, a chutney that combines apples with rhubarb — nothing misses her unique sense of colour and flavour. Meanwhile, Ross demonstrates how to prepare savoury treats such as Creamy Fiddlehead Soup, Lover’s Chicken (a Valentine’s Day creation) and Maple Barbecued Salmon. Featuring more than 200 recipes and dozens of special tips as well as metric and imperial measurements, Tide’s Table is an indispensable guide to contemporary Maritime cuisine.

Maritime cooking starts with great local produce--lobster, scallops, oysters, blueberries, apples, cranberries, maple syrup, and more. There are treasured traditional dishes--hodge podge, baked beans, gingerbread, blueberry grunt--as well as the simple but delicious lobster boil. Leading chefs like Craig Flinn of Halifax's Chives restaurant, Michael Howell of The Tempest in Wolfville, and many others have come up with wonderful new ways of cooking with fresh, local ingredients. Best Recipes of the Maritime Provinces brings the traditional and the contemporary together in one great collection. During her many years as Canadian Living magazine's food editor, Elizabeth Baird was a great fan of Maritime cooking. She has visited every corner of the region to research and write about great local producers and cooks and their recipes. To prepare this collection, she started with well over 1,000 recipes published in cookbooks over the past three decades. From those, she has selected 400+ recipes by over fifty of the region's leading chefs, including Elaine Elliot and Virginia Lee, whose bestselling Maritime Flavours has sold more than 30,000 copies. Also included are tasty recipes from healthy eating champions Maureen Tilley and Sandra Nowlan. This is the book that every Maritime cook will want--and that visitors will take home so they can explore the region's rich culinary traditions.
