Traditional Maryland Recipes

Maryland recipes from a true Marylander!

Not only is 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. There are many famous places in Maryland and most embody the spirit of being a coastal state and near the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay. The U.S. Naval Academy is located in the Maryland State Capitol of Annapolis. Vacationers head to Ocean City Maryland to soak up some rays during the Summer. Tourists flock to the Inner Harbor and visit the National Aquarium. Young party goers visit Fells Point to have a cocktail and eat at a waterfront restaurant.

This cookbook was put together by a native Marylander who knows which foods embody the spirit of this Mid-Atlantic state.
