Traditional Maryland Recipes

Maryland recipes from a true Marylander! Maryland known for crabs but it is also known for other types of seafood. Maryland even has its own unofficial spice called “Old Bay.” This spice is made by the McCormick Corporation which is headquartered in Baltimore. If you are visiting Baltimore City at the Inner Harbor or in Baltimore County near Hunt Valley, you will be able to smell the spices in the air from the McCormick corporation. You can often smell them on the highway driving down Interstate 83. They make other spices, but no other seasoning is as indicative to Maryland as Old Bay. It comes in a square yellow can with pictures of crabs, shrimp and other seafood on the front. This recipe book is not all seafood but everything has been made with the spirit of Maryland cuisine in mind.
