Summary:
"When Steven Laffoley [a Bostonian writer, who moved to
Nova
Scotia
in 1982] first arrived on the rocky shores of
Nova
Scotia
, he discovered some rather exotic food fare: deep-fried seafoods, boiled crustaceans, and an otherworldly, post-beer, Middle Eastern fusion food called the donair. Far from the canned ravioli and Jell-O salads of his youth, Laffoley discovered that
Nova
Scotian food could be fresh and fascinating, frivolous and fun. As a result, he was determined to learn more. It just took him thirty-odd years to get around to it. When he did, he did so with a true cook's call to action. He began making elaborate meals with a single-minded effort to understand local food's relationship to people and place. In doing so, he discovered that he actually had a gift. Indeed, he possessed the exact gift his mother had. Not only was he a bad cook
--
he was a spectacularly bad cook. Still, Bluenose fare had captured his imagination. So, no longer wanting to harm sentient life with his
cooking
, he set off with notebook and pen to discover the real story of food in
Nova
Scotia
. What he found was a 10,000-year-old tale that was fascinating, funny, and just downright strange."--Back cover.
