Renee Brooks Catacalos is here to remind us that eating local is easier - and more rewarding - than we may think. There is an abundance of food all around us, found across the acres and acres of fields and pastures, orchards and forests, mile upon winding mile of rivers and streams, ocean coastline, and the amazing Chesapeake Bay. In The Chesapeake Table, Catacalos examines the powerful effect of eating local in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. She also includes recipes for those curious about how they can make their own more environmentally conscious food choices.

There was a time when most food was local, whether you lived on a farm or bought your food at a farmers market in the city. Exotic foods like olives, spices, and chocolate shipped in from other parts of the world were considered luxuries. Now, most food that Americans eat are shipped from somewhere else, and eating local is considered by some to be a luxury.
