WHERE
TO STAY
The Inn at Perry Cabin
This manor house sits in a beautiful location right on the Miles River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, in the Victorian resort town of St. Michael's. All of the bedrooms are extremely tasteful, and they become even more so the higher up in category you go, culminating with the Master Suites. |
HOTEL SPECIALS

The 400 rooms at the Resort feature abundant living space and private balconies that take advantage of the majestic views of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. Facilities include a 150-slip marina for boating, nature trails and a challenging 18-hole golf course.

COOKBOOK REVIEW
Cooking with Crab: Best-Loved Recipes and Menus from Chesapeake Bay Gourmet Kauffman, longtime owner of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Gourmet (which sells through QVC what a number of reviewers have called the nation's best crab cakes via mail order), will tell you just about everything you need to know to tame your crab and whip him into shape. Here's the biggest secret of all (and it goes even more for plain old fish): preparation is easy! In many cases, it's easier than the preparation of our old culinary friends meat or poultry. |
