The New England Clam Shack Cookbook: Favorite Recipes from Clam Shacks, Lobster Pounds & Chowder Houses

will give one for a gift as they are almost duplicate. the recipes sound good and cannot wait to try many.

This is a great book. So far, we have made the clam chowder from the Seahorse Tavern, and it was superb. Just like the clear chowder I grew up eating. However, aside from two Connecticut restaurants, the author virtually skips over the whole state. There are so many excellent clam shacks and seafood places in CT, and I'm hoping the 2nd edition (set to come out in May 2008) will include more recipes from my former home state. But other than that, no complaints. In addition to great recipes, the book is a lot of fun to read through. The author includes lots of fun facts and anecdotes.

Just what you might expect. Buttery cholesterol laden food that almost everyone loves! 'They' now tell us now it might kill you, but what the heck? It is a review of reicpes from many roadside eateries in coastal New England. I find much of it repetitive, after all, how many ways are there to deep fry a clam?If you love this vacation food, it is fun. As a cookbook, it is very limited.DOC

I love this cookbook. The price was fabulous also. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys seafood.

its ok

I gave this as a gift to my cousin who loves clams. He was very enthusiastic about trying many of the recipes he viewed.

Love this book. It features many recipes from places I used to dine when I lived up north. Arrived in excellent condition and all was as described.

All the flavors I remember growing up! I would and have recommended this book to friends and will continue to do so.
