Mrs. Kitching's Smith Island Cookbook
Seventy-five miles southeast of Washington, D.C., in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, accessible only by boat, is tiny Smith Island, where a 300-year-old culture has survived in singular isolation. For a quarter of a century in this unique setting, Frances Kitching has been operating a small but acclaimed restaurant and inn. Susan Stiles Dowell, working closely with her, has gathered more than one hundred of her recipes-many of them family recipes handed down in the oral tradition from mother to daughter for generations.
