Book Description

September 1, 2003 Food Lovers' Series
Here is the ultimate guide to the food scene in Massachusetts. From the ubiquitous clam chowder and baked beans to less obvious Bay State delicacies, such as pistachio biscotti, sweet potato jam, and ricotta-sage ravioli, a wealth of exciting foods--and much more--can be found with this engagingly written guidebook.

Residents and visitors to Massachusetts can look inside the Food Lovers' Guide for:
*Producers and purveyors of tasty local specialties, both simple and gourmet
*Delicious annual events, from black-tie taste-of-Boston affairs to fisherman's feasts
*Farm stands throughout the state (nearly 100 in all), plus farmer's markets that are a destination in themselves
*Places to pick your own blueberries, peaches, and other local produce
*Extra-special restaurants, from Boston's exquisite L'Espalier to the best spot in Provincetown for Portuguese sausage-and-kale soup
*Recipes--such as lobster and corn chowder, or pumpkin custard--using local ingredients and traditions
*Wineries and select places to sample local beers
*Cooking schools and seminars
*Local food lore, kitchen wisdom, anecdotes, and the authors' "best of" selections.

Discover the true flavor of Massachusetts with this unique guide.

This review is from: Food Lovers' Guide to Massachusetts: Best Local Specialties, Markets, Recipes, Restaurants, Events, and More (Paperback)
If you live anywhere in or near Mass or travel there you will want this book! I saw it at the library and since I only live 1/2 hour from the Mass border I thought it would be fun to browse through it. I had post-it notes stuck on so many pages I thought I had better buy my own copy. The book is divided by regions and towns and has suggestions for restaurants, shops, markets, etc. If you consider yourself a foodie or just enjoy sampling local favorites you will want this book! I am now planning day trips around the foods I want to try. Great book. I wish there was one for every state.
