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 twenty years with his Scribner 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. Foodies and fans have for years been asking Craig to share the recipes that J.W. Jackson, and his wife, Zee, cook. Now, Craig and his wife, Shirley, offer up 250 recipes collected over their 50 years of marriage. It's real food for real people, accompanied by fun commentary from main characters J.W. and Zee, as well as Phil and Shirley. It also has the seductive flavors of Martha's Vineyard, a favorite spot for countless visitors lured by the sea, sand, and quaint small villages of an island accessible only by sea and air.

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!
