Books by John (Gertrude's Restaurant) Shields

Shields offers many vegan- and vegetarian-friendly options, as well as innovative new takes on Chesapeake classics. You'll find recipes for dozens of delicious dishes, from Aunt Bessie's Crab Pudding and Hutzler's Cheese Bread to "I Can't Believe It's Not Crab" Cakes, Blue Cat Seafood Hash, and an array of savory soups, braised meats, luscious desserts, and green breakfast smoothies--even recipes for a locavore cocktail party!

Extensively updated, this edition includes a new chapter on Chesapeake libations, which features Shields's closely held recipe for his notorious Dirty Gertie, an authentic Chesapeake-style Bloody Mary.
