Imagination and innovation in the preparation and presentation of dishes
using fresh, local produce unify these latest titles in Elliot’s
nine-book Maritime Flavours series.

Each volume includes 40 choice recipes, each the pride of a Maritime
country inn or restaurant. Comments by the chef or innkeeper introduce
each recipe, and a glowing full-page photo highlights the presentation
of more than half the dishes.

The theme of the series is food as an exquisite masterpiece. An
emphasis on showcasing the pure flavours of the central subject against
the perfect accompaniments requires attention to detail and elaborate
presentation. The photographs provide a multitude of presentation ideas.

The decidedly upscale style will tempt readers into dreams of
duplicating these fabulous creations at home. The best fruit, berries,
or salad greens nature can provide are central to the recipes. A few of
the creations are the essence of simplicity, doing little more than
accenting the beauty of perfect berries; others require skill and
cooking experience to produce.

A rich resource for ideas and inspirations, this visually stunning
series will appeal to those who love fresh fruit and greens as well as
to those who enjoy the pampering experience of dining at trendy country
inns and wish to re-create that at home.
