This is a sweet little cookbook designed for a niche market: those people with a tie to Rhode Island. Having grown up in Rhode Island, but now living in the western US, this cookbook is a treasure for me. Inside this cookbook are some black+white photographs (Rhode Island landmarks, food, people) and each recipe is easily read, and generally one recipe per page.
This book is organized into Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Desserts & Beverages. Dinner is the largest section, and it is subdivided into Appetizers, Pasta, Meats, Seafood, Sides, and Breads & Pizza. By far, seafood is the largest section, as is entirely appropriate for Rhode Island.
I've found the recipes to be general good and interesting. They are authentic recipes - that is - many of these recipes are for things I experienced in my childhood, such as the drinks with coffee syrup.
If you miss Rhode Island, and have a tender spot in your heart for Rhode Island's food, then this cookbook is for you.
