Title: fun but ridiculous
Review: this book by a non-native is fun to read and it has wonderful pictures, but I don't trust the recipes. For example, her only recipe for blueberry muffins (a Maine basic) contains brown sugar. Mainers do not put brown sugar in their muffins! She also commonly mistakes "local" and "artisanal" with "authentic.She's also under the impression that there are only "at least a couple dozen" lobster pounds restaurants left in Maine. (Her page on them is weirdly called "Hidden Treasures.") The lady needs to get back in her Volvo and drive a little more on Rte to know that she's off by at least a factor of 10.
