Delish!: The J. W. Jackson Recipes : A Martha's Vineyard Cookbook

by Philip R. Craig

Philip R. Craig has entertained thousands of readers for almost 20 years with his mystery novels about J.W. Jackson, a resident of the Island of Martha's Vineyard who solves murders in his spare time, when he isn't fishing or raising a family. Good food and fun meals have been important to the characters in Phil's seventeen Vineyard mysteries, and recent books in the series have each included three recipes the Jackson family enjoys. Now, in partnership with his wife, Shirley Prada Craig, Phil Craig presents what foodies and Jackson fans have been a whole book devoted to 250 of these Island recipes collected over the Craigs' almost 50 years of marriage.

About the author

Author Philip R. Craig passed away on May 8, 2007 after a brief battle with cancer.

Phil left three completed novels, which have now all been published posthumously. Vineyard Stalker came out in June of 2007 just after Phil's death. Third Strike, co-written with Bill Tapply, came out in November of 2007. The final J.W. Jackson mystery, Vineyard Chill, is on the shelves now. Another J.W. book is partially written, and may someday be completed by his family per his instructions, so stay tuned. Delish, the cookbook co-written with Phil’s wife Shirley Prada Craig, is also still available.

The Philip R. Craig website will be maintained as a tribute to my father and his many fans. ~ Jamie Craig

After looking over quite a few of these recipes. I made the decision to purchase the book. I love to eat and love to try new recipes. My husband bears with me. Now I need to find where I can buy bluefish in Utah, cause I really want to have some.

So good to have these recipes all in one place. Over the years I've read all the Martha's Vineyard books. They are especially good for me because Colorado and Cape Cod are two of my favorite vacation places!
