Taste
and Tales of Coastal New England.
From Eastport, Maine to Greenwich, Connecticut, the coast of New England is as varied as the rock ledges of Mt. Desert, Maine to the sandy beaches of Rhode Island. There are small towns and big cities, but the one common denominator is great food. Be it a clam fritter from Flo’s Clam Shack in Middletown, Rhode Island, a lobster roll in Rockport, Maine or Locke-Ober in Boston, food is an intricate part of the New England psychic. The Taste and Tales of Coastal New England has 180 recipes from the many bed & breakfasts, restaurants, cookbook and historical cookbooks. I had a wonderful time researching the many tales from all five states. I served the Lemon Tart at Easter and it was voted my best dessert ever and the Blueberry Lemon Bread is loved by all who have tried it. Once again my dear friend, Louise Minks, painted the cover of Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse in Maine.

The Light House of Maine
In 1855, the Lighthouse Board stated that a light was needed to assist vessels entering Bass Habor on the southwest tip of Mt. Desert Island in Maine. Congress allocated $5,000 for the purchase of land and to construction of the light house, The two acres of land purchased for $80.00 and upon completion $16.65 was returned to a surplus fund. The lighthouse was automated in 1975 and remains an active aid to navigation. It earned its nickname, "The Little Lighthouse of Maine" because it is only 32 feet high, but 56 feet above seal level thanks to the graine bluf on which it sits. Sine automation it has been the quarters for the Commander of the Coast Guard of Southwest Habor.
About
Phoebe's Kitchen 
Phoebe's Kitchen was named for my mother who passed away on November
19, 2007, just short of age 98. My Mother allowed me to bake and cook
whenever I wanted, I only had to clean up the kitchen afterward. It
is because of her that I have such a passion for writing cookbooks.
My legacy to my mother is the line of foods and books in her memory.
