Lobster!

April 15, 2012

Dojny, who lives on the Maine coast, has authored more than 12 cookbooks (e.g., The New England Clam Shack Cookbook; Dishing Up Maine). Here, lobster is prominently featured in every course except dessert. Informative sidebars offer lobster facts, quotes, trivia, and cooking tips. Squeamish home cooks will appreciate Dojny's friendly tone and clear, no-nonsense instructions for splitting and parboiling live lobsters. VERDICT With simple recipes that scream of summer--like Lobster and Mango Salad, Grilled Lobster with Basil-Lime Butter, and Best Blueberry Pie--this colorful cookbook will appeal to cooks of all skill levels.
