Reviews"The Provincetown Seafood Cookbook is something I go back to read often. It's grounding. It's not so much a cookbook as it is a piece of cultural anthropology. A sincere love letter to a very special place that maybe doesn't totally exist anymore. I bought my copy in 1991 when I first moved to the Outer Cape from New Jersey. The stories it told helped me connect to this spit of sand on a mystical, pagan level. It teaches respect for a place, the people, a simpler lifestyle, ceremony, for the ocean and for the fish. The recipe for Squid Stew (page 151) is as simple and true as it is transcendental. This book is the closest thing to a bible in my house . First published in Provincetown in 1975, it was long out of print, but it's once again available (Seven Stories Press, 2018). Do yourself -- or any cook who cares about this place -- a solid and grab a copy ." --Tony Pasquale, The Provincetown Independent
