    Explores the possibilities of pierogies with the editor of the website Good. Food. Stories. and this array of recipes. This tasty tribute to the pierogi takes a familiar wrapping and stuffs it with a host of unconventional, innovative, and decidedly non-traditional fillings. With 60 sweet and savory recipes that include everything from the classic Polish cheddar and potato offerings to American-inspired Reuben pierogies and fried apple pie-rogies to worldly fillings like falafel and Nutella, there's a pierogi for every party and every palate! Each recipe comes with a charming story from Barber's extensive explorations in pierogi flavors.“What I adore about Pierogi Love is that it does for pierogies what my blog has done for cupcakes—it pushes the boundaries of pierogies. The book begins by sharing a basic savory and a basic sweet pierogi dough and detailing assembly, cooking, and storage procedures. Then, it moves on to the fillings. This is where the book gets fun!”—Stefani Pollack, writer & recipe developer, Cupcake Project “I must say these pierogies are a great option to have available at your holiday festivities.”—Kristina Gill, food & drinks editor, Design Sponge, and author of Tasting Rome

    Twenty-five years ago, Chesapeake Bay Cooking with John Shields introduced the world to the regional cuisine of the Mid-Atlantic. Nominated for a James Beard Award, the book was praised for its inspiring heritage recipes and its then-revolutionary emphasis on cooking with local and seasonal ingredients.

Readers will learn how to prepare over 200 recipes from the Mid-Atlantic region, including panfried rockfish, roast mallard, beaten biscuits, oyster fritters, and Lady Baltimore cake. Best of all, they’ll learn everything they need to know about crabs?the undisputed star of Chesapeake cuisine?featured here in mouthwatering recipes for seven different kinds of crab cakes. 
     
    Extensively updated, this edition includes a new chapter on Chesapeake libations, which features Shields’s closely held recipe for his notorious Dirty Gertie, an authentic Chesapeake-style Bloody Mary. 
     
    “Long before it was trendy to serve sustainable, local, and organic food, Maryland native Shields was doing it at Gertrude’s, a modest modern restaurant tucked inside the Baltimore Museum of Art. This fall he reissued his prescient chronicle of the waterman’s way of life and traditional cooking on the mid-Atlantic coast. It includes how to “pick” steamed crabs (seasoned with Old Bay, natch), prepare country sides like Green Beans With Country Ham and Sautéed Peanuts, and make the quirky relish known as chow-chow.” —April Fulton, National Geographic’sfood blog, The Plate 
     
    “John knows and loves the Chesapeake as only a native can. One of the best regional American cookbooks you’ll ever find.” —Gourmet 
     
    “For those who are not familiar with the “good old down home” taste of cooking by a native of the Chesapeake Bay region, John Shields brings you an experience you'll never forget. For those of us who are fortunate enough to be a part of this region, Mr. Shields reminds us of the experience we’ll always remember.” —The Honorable William Donald Schaefer, former governor of Maryland

These foods we enjoy today are part of a long tradition beginning in the Victorian era, when big oceanfront hotels served elaborate meals. Diverse dishes and restaurants emerged during prohibition and the Great Depression, when fast food appeared and iconic boardwalk treats developed. Predating the farm to table movement, fancy and fast eateries have been supplied by local fishermen and farmers for decades. So whether you indulge in a tomato pie, pork roll or salt water taffy, take a mouthwatering historical tour and discover timeless treats from Sandy Hook to Cape May.  “Tells the story of the original farm and sea to table American destination. The book is filled with information about the way the NJ shore has eaten through history and the food establishments that have spanned generations, some still operating today.” —NJ.com  “This book also gives us insights into the earliest days of Atlantic City’s fine hotels. The Victorian era menus included in the volume are a treasure. I also loved her inclusion of such iconic former restaurants as Hackney’s and Capt. Starn’s and the still standing Knife and Fork Inn.” —Atlantic City Central  “If you enjoy walking the Boardwalk for your pork roll and salt water taffy fix, or if you appreciate the history of the region’s former great restaurants like Hackney’s, Capt. Starn’s and Zaberer’s, this book will be an entertaining read.” —Atlantic City Weekly
