As a champion of Nova Scotia cooking, Craig Flinns passion is to seek out, taste, cook, and share the very best locally sourced foods. Starting with traditional dishes, he has developed tasty contemporary versions that everyone will enjoy.

The recipes are updated, contemporary versions of flavourful Maritime classics organized by season. Based on fresh, local, plentiful produce, these are dishes that Maritimers and visitors alike will love.

This is a cookbook every Nova Scotian, old and young, will want in their kitchenand every visitor will want to take home.
