Lynn Crawford's Pitchin' In
Lynn Crawford's Pitchin' In chronicles Chef Lynn Crawford's road trip across North America, describing the people she meets, the land, and of course, the food. She travels from the Bay of Fundy, where some of the finest lobster in the world is caught, to Vancouver Island to haul in trap after trap of the best Dungeness crab available, to Kansas, where a small group of farmers is reviving heritage turkey, to Perth County in Southwestern Ontario, famous for some of the best pork in Canada and home to one of only a handful of farmers who are raising wild boar.
In Lynn Crawford's Pitchin' In, Crawford shares many of the amazing and simple recipes from her adventures and celebrates the local food heroes she meets along the way. She gives us her best food and cooking tips and recipes for many of her favourite dishes to enjoy with family and friends.
Recipes include Cider-Glazed Pork Chops, Creamy Chicken Paprika, Honey Butter Roasted Scallops, Mac 'n' Cheese 'n' Wild Boar, and Lamb Shepherd's Pie. And she doesn't forget wonderful desserts to top off every meal, such as Pecan Blueberry Cobbler and Red Velvet Cupcakes.

Beautiful and beautifully photographed recipes from a woman who lives in both worlds: urban and rural; extravagant and rustic / humble.
If she says, "no pun intended", do not believe her!
I just wish we could have had photos of each recipe. Some of the missing images sounded amazing.

the "simple ingredients" are local to very few

I watched her show, and it was very good, my husband and I were so excited about her book about all the recipes she cooked in the tv program, so as soon as I could I bought it. Ingredients are exotic, yes, but if you like food and love cookin´ you will love it!

Too difficult and too odd of ingredients to actually cook.
Fine for reading, but my local grocery doesn't carry boar bacon - how about yours?

While I enjoy watching Lynns TV show better, it is nice to have the recipes in front of me if I want to cook something
