Raising Kids & Tomatoes - by Rob Kasper

I just added this book to my recommendations list. Like so many others, it should have been there all along but I only just discovered it.

Raising Kids & Tomatoes, published back in 1998 by The Baltimore Sun, is a collection of columnist Rob Kasper's musings about food and family. It's delightfully sprinkled with recipes, food-lore, and all things Maryland (think crab cakes and ducks). Most stories/columns are less than three pages long so it is an easy book to explore at your leisure.

And although I am not a beer drinker, if you are, I highly recommend stopping by Rob's blog, Kasper on Tap.
