Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

Beautiful cookbook with lots of pictures. Makes one want to travel to Prince Edward Island. Looking forward to trying some of the recipes.

I did not read Farm, Fire, & Feast by Michael Smith as an educator, but as an avid cook.

Farm, Fire & Feast by Michael Smith had beautiful photography and some interesting recipes. The recipes seemed user-friendly and didn't include a lot of difficult to find ingredients (particularly in rural Midwest). Farm, Fire & Feast is one that I would check out from the library and try a few recipes from, but not one that I would feel needed to be added to my cookbook collection.

I was 8 years old when I fell in love with Anne Shirley and started dreaming of visiting Prince Edward Island. As an adult I have researched traveling there, but there is always something that prevents me from booking my trip. In one of my research rabbit holes I discovered the Inn at Bay Fortune and decided it had to be part of my PEI experience.

This book has made me want to fast-forward the experience. Reading about the Inn's farm, its terroir, and the locally source ingredients that inspire the Inn's chef (not to mention seeing the gorgeous photos that accompany the book) has brought to life what the Inn's culinary mission is.

The recipes themselves are a revelation that I will hesitantly try to recreate. All in all, this book has whet my appetite for the uniquely PEI experience that is the Inn at Bay Fortune.

Amazing photos and recipes! Really motivated me to start fresh, clean cooking. I enjoyed seeing the lobster and fresh seafood that is local to the region. Also was impressed with the crusted halibut recipe.

This is very east coast Canadian. Amazing scrumptious looking photos. I loved the new take on French Toast it worked perfectly. Lots of great new takes on classic Canadian dishes.

This books is cool in the sense the immerses you in the PEI vibes and you feel like you could actually be eating a meal at Michael Smith's Inn. Lots of interesting recipes with cool Canadian ingredients!

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review!

An in-depth look at the the Inn at Bay Fortune, and the good of chef Michael Smith. The recipes are lovely and rooted in the food from the Inn’s gardens. However it’s the essays about the food production and preparation where this book really shines - that and the beautiful photography.

Excellent cookbook with gorgeous photography (of plating, prep work, and the local community) and a strong reference section covering local flora and fauna used in the PEI area by both settlers and the original indigenous communities. Most of the recipes themselves are fairly complex and require access to a fire pit, smoker, or large enclosed outdoor grill so this work would be of far more use to cook with access to a yard than, say, an apartment dweller. Given the location of the Inn at Bay Fortune there is a preponderance of seafood of course, but I was amazed by the sheer variety of vegetable and herb based dishes as well.
