This book is one of two put out by former Maine columnist Marjorie Standish. Her recipes are easy, delicious and typical of a chef who knows what the "crowd" likes. I give these two books (Cooking Down East) as gifts to those who truly care about what they serve :)

My two Marjorie Standish cookbooks "Cooking Down East and "Keep Cooking the Maine Way" are 40 years old. Tattered and stained, they are proof that they have been well-loved and well-used. They are a true reflection of good Maine cooking--keep it simple and use fresh ingredients! I recently purchased from Amazon these two cookbooks to give to my granddaughter. In her books I have added my notations beside the recipes that have been my family's favorites, with special notations on those recipes that are particularly loved by my son, her Dad. I know she will keep the tradition going, and someday, perhaps, pass her books on to her granddaughters.

Marjorie Standish Cook Books are wonderful cook books for everyday food. She uses ingredients which would be commonly found in many home pantries or the corner supermarket. Her instructions are easy to follow for the novice cook and produce wonderful results. I have used her first cook book COOKING DOWN EAST for many years, and the purchase of these cook books are for another generation of budding cooks!
