About the Author
Reviews
"She provides a fresh take on old, tried and true recipes that have been passed down, exchanged and tweaked for the centuries."
"The recipes contained [in this book] speak directly to the how and why of people’s past and current eating habits. In particular, this is where Burdick shines. Best East Coast Jams, Pickles, Preserves and Bread is not just a book of bread-and-butter pickles or cinnamon-roll recipes. It is also a repository for learning how to make rose hip or dandelion jelly, buckwheat pancakes, or steamed breads."
"Mouth-watering recipes that will get your tummy rumbling!"
"Burdick has gone out of her way to assemble a plethora of interesting and delicious recipes from all over Atlantic Canada. My favourite recipe from this book (so far!) is the Nova Scotia Sandwich Bread, but the Autumn Spiced Apple Butter is also a perfect edition this Holiday Season!"
"[She] understand[s] that today’s home cooks may be food lovers and eaters, but they are not always food makers. [The author knows that] they are addressing a generation that lives on Instagram and recipe search engines, and moans about lengthy headnotes on food blogs.
