The Newfoundland and Labrador Seafood Cookbook is one of those cookbooks that stays in your kitchen as a resource tool. Complete with illustrations, it includes physical characteristics, habitat descriptions, and best preparation methods for dozens of fish. And you can’t get more iconic than recipes from a province totally surrounded by water and all that inhabits the seas.
Although author, Joan Over, moved away from her beloved Newfoundland and spent many years in Aurora Ontario, the island life called her back and she pursued both her culinary passion along with enjoying the many natural wonders of her province.
“For Joan Over, the choosing, preparing and serving of food was about more than the process of providing sustenance. It was, for her, an expression of art, characterized by the same balance and finesse she demonstrated in her calligraphy and drawings. And for 15 years she shared her love of food and the art of cooking with the loyal readers of her “In Joan’s Kitchen” column in the pages of this newspaper.” Barb Dean-Simmons https://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/news/local/remembering-joan-over-75013/
Although author Joan Over is no longer with us, her extensive culinary experience is evident in her thoughtful approach to each recipe and dish she created. In testament to that, Joan’s The Newfoundland and Labrador Seafood Cookbook was shortlisted for Cuisine Canada’s Culinary Book Award.
