One of the things that most people experience when visiting New England is the availability of fresh seafood – especially clams – made into dozens of mouthwatering dishes. Everything you ever wanted to know about these (mostly fried) dishes is included in The Great Clam Cake and Fritter Guide: Why We Love Them, How to Make Them, and Where to Find Them from Maine to Virginia by veteran cookbook author, Carolyn Wyman.

Not only does this cookbook include a few recipes for delicious specialties made of clams and other types of seafood, it introduces readers to the history of the dishes and where to find the best of the best throughout New England.

While some of the recipes include professional photographs of the dishes, not all of them are pictured, n This is unfortunate because photographs transform an okay cookbook to a fabulous cookbook.

There is a lot of interesting information included in this book, and it is suitable for curling up and reading even for those who aren’t ready to cook. It is especially recommended for those who plan on visiting New England; while most are familiar with crab cakes and lobster rolls, this book makes clams the star, and will make them and a few other not-so-popular types of seafood into favorites.
