Dishing Up Maryland

July 26th, 2010

Local, sustainable, food has become an important pillar of the green culture and the explosion and growth of farmer’s markets all around Maryland and the entire country is evidence to its popularity.  A new, must-have, addition to your sustainable library is Dishing Up Maryland by Lucie L. Snodgrass, a Harford County writer and farmer (and wife of green roof guru Ed Snodgrass).

Dishing Up Maryland is a beautifully designed and photographed book which is a cook book of local favorites, but also tells the stories of farmers, farms, waterman, and restaurants across Maryland that have embraced the sustainable, organic, and local philosophy of food.  Recipes are also organized by season which enhances the emphasis on eating what is fresh and available throughout the year.

Many northeast Maryland businesses are featured including Broom’s Bloom dairy (try their lamb stew recipe), the Fair Hill Inn (quail with oyster stuffing), Spring Valley Farm (blueberry fruit kuchen), and One Straw Farm (fattoush salad), the oldest and largest organic produce farm in Maryland.

This book is a winner – check it out.
