The East Coast’s Best Lobster Roll
By Virginia Lee
Formac
Everyone is in search of the best lobster roll, and now you don’t need to leave your kitchen to find it! The East Coast’s Best Lobster Rolls features 50 recipes honouring the tried-and-true Atlantic treat. From simple to fancy, there is a roll for every occasion in Virginia Lee’s imaginative new book.
With Valentine’s Day smack in the middle and temperatures that make cuddling seem like the best plan, February is often viewed as the month of love. But love doesn’t have to solely be romantic love — it could be love of family, love of food, love of home, love of language, and so on. These Atlantic books remind us that (even in the depths of winter) there are lots of warm feelings to go around whether it’s in poetry or prose, fiction or non.
In 1970 Marie Nightingale authored Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens, a recipe collection destined to be a classic.
