Several summers ago I was on a mission to find quick and easy lobster recipes to add to my repertoire. I sometimes find it hard to stray beyond the basics because steamed lobster, lobster rolls and lobster Newburg taste so mind-blowingly good.

The next time we […]

Many summers during my youth I had the satisfaction of tucking into a lobster dinner knowing I had helped […]
The 2014 Maine Lobster Festival is under way and folks from all over the world are descending on Rockland to celebrate America’s favorite crustacean. This year, the organizers of the festival decided to recognize the families behind the industry with their “Lobster Livin’ ” theme. It made me reflect on the familial aspects of […]
