Editorial Review:

This collection of more than 40 tantalizing and tasty non-alcoholic beverages presents both traditional and innovative refreshment. The recipes, from great Canadian cafes and restaurants across the country, demonstrate the creative approach taken by chefs and bartenders to serve mocktails, iced teas and coffees, fresh fruit shakes and original variations on punch and lemonade. It's a welcome - and a healthy - alternative to store-bought cold drinks.
All the recipes have been tested and adapted for home use. They employ fresh ingredients, and cover a wide variety of drinks for picnics, parties, afternoon sipping or fine at-home dining. Recipes include variations on old favourites: Lemongrass Ginger Lemonade from The Dunes, Brackley Beach, PEI, Summer Fresh Tomato Juice from Rundles, Stratford, Lava Flow from The Teahouse Restaurant, Vancouver, and non-alcoholic Sangria from Chives Canadian Bistro, Halifax. Almost forgotten drinks, including Raspberry Vinegar and Ginger Beer can be re-discovered, while coffee lovers will find the secrets revealed of a great Iced Moccachino. The collection of recipes has something for everyone, with milkshakes and smoothies, spritzers and non-martinis.

Editorial Review:

There's no better way to experience fine hospitality than by visiting a country inn. If you're a guest at Saint John's Inn on the Cove, you can also treat yourself to beautifully prepared meals. In Tide's Table, innkeepers Ross and Willa Mavis have created the ultimate Maritime cookbook, updating traditional Maritime recipes and adding hundreds of new ones. An ideal companion from morning until night, Tide's Table reflects the Mavises' relaxed sense of hospitality. Included in the book are recipes for everything from simple entrées to holiday fare, including a traditional plum pudding that even Martha Stewart would admire. Willa, the "Queen of Condiments" according to CBC Radio's Vicki Gabereau, leads readers through the preparation of pickles and relishes. A new version of chow chow, a spicy chili sauce, a chutney that combines apples with rhubarb -- nothing misses her unique sense of colour and flavour. Meanwhile, Ross demonstrates how to prepare savoury treats such as Creamy Fiddlehead Soup, Lover's Chicken (a Valentine's Day creation) and Maple Barbecued Salmon. Featuring more than 200 recipes and dozens of special tips as well as metric and imperial measurements, Tide's Table is an indispensable guide to contemporary Maritime cuisine.

Brilliant...must have! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is truly a prize! Healthy & exciting, a brilliant collection of recipes from the founder/owner of one of my most favourite restaurants anywhere (3 Guys & A Stove in Huntsville, ON). You will find the layering of flavours out of this world! I was so excited to finally have the recipes to some of my favourite dishes...the "spicy basmati rice" is the best and all recipes are conveniently designed to be vegetarian with meat added if you wish. And don't forget the best dessert: white chocolate cheesecake baked in phyllo...ahhhhh!
