(Belfast, ME) On Saturday, August 18th at 2:00 pm, Left Bank Books in Belfast will welcome back best-selling cookbook author Brooke Dojny to sign her new book Lobster! 55 Fresh & Simple Recipes for Everyday Eating. Dojny is well-known for her fantastic cookbooks-- Dishing Up Maine being a long time favorite for its beautifully doable local recipes. Now that lobster is more affordable than ever, this particular summer is the perfect time to learn all the delicious ways to consume the delectable "ocean bugs"-- from mini Lobstercakes, to Lobster and Arugula Pizza, to the perfect simply boiled lobster. The book even includes the best Maine salads and desserts to accompany a lobster meal.
"Mere words cannot come close to doing justice to the transcendent gustatory pleasure of eating a freshly steamed lobster. . . ", Dojny writes, and yet in old New England lobsters were once considered so low class, "prisoners were forced to eat them three times a week." Imagine - bread, water and lobster as a punitive consequence of your crime!
Copies will be available of both of the above-mentioned titles, as well as Dojny's beautiful New England Home Cooking: 350 Recipes from Town and Country, Land and Sea, Hearth and Home. For more information, or to reserve copies of her books, please call 338-9009 or stop by Left Bank Books at 109 Church Street, Belfast.
