The very best New England recipes from America's most beloved fisherman and author of The Hungry Ocean and The Lobster
Chronicle -- and her mother!
'Most recipes are uncomplicated, and all evoke the character of
the beautiful, rustic land from which they come.' - PW.
'There are color photographs throughout of the recipes and island
scenes. Strongly recommended.' - Library Journal
Comment: I believe the title on this book must have been changed
late in the day as much of the publicity material refers to the book
as Stuffed To The Gills, as do some of the online
booksellers.

Linda Greenlaw's first book, The Hungry Ocean: A Swordboat

She is the winner of the U.S. Maritime Literature Award in 2003, and the New England Book Award for nonfiction in 2004.
