Oh, how I loved this visual and culinary walk through my favourite corner of the world. This is so much more than just an excellent cookbook, it offers a glimpse into our past, present, and future here in Atlantic Canada.

Atlantic Canada holds a special place in my heart. The spirit and energy of the people and places are incredible. They share a true love of local food and genuinely celebrate their passionate farmers, fishermen, and culinary artisans. This is why I am excited aboutA Rising Tide. Just flipping through the pages brings back great memories of my East Coast travels. I cant wait to cook some of these delicious dishes for my family and create new memories around the dinner table.

A Rising Tidepaints one of the most accurate pictures of what modern day cooking is in Atlantic Canada . . . a perfect blend of culinary history, ingredients, land, sea, and the creative people who tell the stories of place through food. The recipes are familiar yet bursting with a fresh vibrancy that comes from chefs who understand where they are. The photographs are so beautiful they make me want to rush outside and look out at the sea, or perhaps an apple orchard.
