From Newfoundland's exclusive Fogo Island Inn to Nova Scotia's bountiful Annapolis Valley, from PEI's beachside lobster boils to the cranberry fields of New Brunswick, food is at the heart of Atlantic Canada's renewed identity. A Rising Tide is a beautiful love letter to Atlantic Canada's culinary renaissance featuring over 100 modern recipes by the authors and beloved chefs and restaurants from the region, such as Jonathan Gushue from the Fogo Island Inn and Dave Smart from Bessie North House. The recipes celebrate the East Coast's culturally diverse food traditions, each with a local wine or beer pairing. There's also a helpful substitutions guide; essays highlighting key ingredients of each province while also giving a sense of the place, its foods and people; incredible seasonal menus; and gorgeous food and landscape photography.
