“From produce to poultry to policy, The Chesapeake Table takes you on a thoroughly delicious and instructive journey through one of America’s greatest and most diverse food sheds. Fact-packed and certified to satisfy, this book has everything you’ll ever need to eat local and to eat like a local.”

Mark Winne, author of Stand Together or Starve Alone: Unity and Chaos in the U.S. Food Movement

“Renee Catacalos has long been a champion of the edible resources and character of the Chesapeake watershed. Her book beautifully ties cultural, historical, and natural resources into a poetic volume that ennobles the people of the greater Chesapeake, giving an appreciation for the sustainable and local in one of America’s most ancient and proud foodscapes.”

Michael Twitty, author of The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South
