Ayuh, Another Downeast Cookbook: Recipes From Maine is chock-full of unique and delicious Game recipes for the wildlife food enthusiast. The recipes include everything from bear to raccoon, clams and lobster, chowders, sauces, and wild goosegrass greens. These recipes are brought to you from Registered Maine Guides of The Maine Professional Guides Association, members of Maine Lobstermen’s Association, as well as Bangor Daily News columnist and TV personality, Bud Leavitt. I have deliberately left the inevitable imperfections that occurred when reproducing the original manuscript (which was initially compiled 35 years ago), as I feel this adds to the charm of the cookbook. I hope that you, too, will embrace its authenticity and that you and your family will enjoy these recipes for many generations to come. Enjoy! -Virginia Wright

Honey Topping Recipe

1 package Neufchâtel cheese
1/3 cup pure honey
1 tsp. pure vanilla ( Mexican vanilla in recipes is my fav!)

Honey Butter

Mix ingredients together, and Voila! This simple, but tasty topping is all ready for your carrot cake, and is great on top of fresh-made cinnamon rolls. If you would like more topping, just double the recipe.

NOTE: When you can, buy honey from a local beekeeper. Some manufacturers, so I am told, who sell a honey blend (honey mixed with corn syrup). They do this– to stretch the honey. If you buy locally, from a local beekeeper, chances are you will get PURE HONEY. You have every right to ask… then get only the best!
