The really great cooks of the Eastern Shore, when confronted to share their recipes, usually hedge with, Well, I put in a smidgen of honey, a little tad of onion, a small sliver of fat back…a handful of walnuts, but then again, I use a handful of raisins if I dont have the nuts.
from the foreword by Dr. Thomas A. Flowers.
The Chesapeake Collection, created in 1983 by the Womans Club of Denton, Inc., has captured these “tads” and “smidgens” and translated them into recipes that any creative cook can use and enjoy serving to family and friends.19 b/w photos & illustrationsA Treasury of Recipes and Memorabilia from Marylands Eastern Shore19 b/w photos & illustrations
