For those of you who collect cookbooks from vacation places visited, to those of you who want to remember local folklore and history of the people of the Outer Banks area, this is the book for you. Combining recipes from "old" families whose names go on for generations and new arrivals to stories of Blackbeard and lighthouses, this book captures the aura of the Outer Banks. Not just for cooks, it's an historical volume as well.

this is a great book. It is like living and eating on the islands. I have longed to go back there, but this is as close as you can get without being there.

Quite simply, we go to the Outer Banks once a year and it's never enough. This is a little way to bring the feel of the area to your home and learn a little background on the dishes at the same time. It's not a kitchen-only cookbook.

We love to cook and always look to add to our collection of cookbooks. Our local coffee shop (Duck Cottage) had this on display along with on authors signing scheduled. We have already made five recipes and love them all. Highly recommend this book for local tales and flavor.
