An outstanding collection of hearty, down-home Maine recipes for everything from fish chowder to apple pie. Marjorie Standish was a long-running food columnist for the Maine Sunday Telegram who spent years gathering her own favorite dishes along with the best of her readers' suggestions. The result was this book, long a standard in Maine kitchens but out of print for years until now. "It's like opening a treasure to share a recipe," Standish writes. These are treasures that will endure long after the latest food fads have passed.

Memories and Tastes of Home,
By Gordon Harold Mehlman (Frederick, MD United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cooking Down East (Paperback)
When my grandmother died, I was the lucky recipient of "her "secret recipes."(Cooking Down East : Favorite Maine Recipes and Keep Cooking the Maine Way). Everytime I make the Melt in Your Mouth Blueberry Cake, the Fish Chowder or the Lobster Newburg (the fancy one--of course!), I am momentarily returned to my childhood. The Red Flannel Hash is pretty terrific, too. At last count, I had 273 cookbooks in my private collection, but these two are the ones I most often return to when I wish a taste of home. Unlike many others, they seem to spend a majority of the time on my kitchen counter, permanently dusted with flour, stained forever with tiny Maine blueberries. If you are looking for nothing fancy-schmancy, only exemplary "home-style cooking," then these are the best you will ever find. Thanks Nanny (and thanks Ms. Standish)

I haven't found anything in this book my family didn't like!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cooking Down East (Paperback)
My first edition of this book was given to me by my husband 26 years ago. I have many fond memories of family dinners, deserts and favourite recipes from this book. To me it is a touch of home. Gloria Legere Mainiac in Exile in Washington State.

Finest Kind.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cooking Down East (Paperback)
This book was always in the kitchen at home, and one of the first things I learned to cook was the Doughnut Muffins, which we often had on Sunday mornings with the papers.
Only place I know that has a real recipe for Red Flannel Hash, too!
Brings back lovely memories. Soul Food for a Maine girl
