Flavors of Maine

A flavorful new cookbook proclaims we are living in the Golden Age of Maine food.

When I tell people that I moved to Maine for the food, I get some blank, disbelieving looks." So writes award-winning food author -- and frequent Down East contributor -- Brooke Dojny in her new cookbook, Dishing Up Maine: 165 Recipes That Capture Authentic Down East Flavors (Storey Publishing, www.storey.com ; paperback; 288 pages; $19.95). The blank looks are no surprise, she says. "Lots of people take for granted the wealth of ingredients found in Maine and are maybe only vaguely conscious of the groundswell -- now amounting to an unstoppable movement -- of Maine artisans turning out some of the finest foodstuffs currently being produced in this country.
