Bestselling cookbook author Anita Stewart presents a delicious selection of recipes from the keepers of British Columbia's lighthouses. From the traditional Clam Chowder and Apple Pie, to such gourmet creations as Mussels in Wild Mushrooms and Jalapeno Jelly, the dishes contradict the myth of rough living and near starvation on the isolated light stations. They are, however, uniformly simple; when food supplies are only available occasionally by helicopter, lighthouse chefs must be inventive about using materials at hand. This produces an emphasis on garden vegetables, wild edible plants and berries, and, of course, BC's prodigious variety of seafood! The recipes are interspersed with fascinating anecdotes of life on the lights.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Lighthouse Cookbook (Paperback)
Here is a revealing little book about living and cooking in lighthouses. There are stories about keeping the lights going, raising families, and maintaining happy marriages - as well as utilizing homegrown and ocean caught food to make healthy and nutritious meals to please anyone. The artwork is attractive and complements the surprisingly entertaining information. This will make a useful addition to any cookbook buff's collection, especially those interested in British Columbia.
