<DIV>Given its rich food culture and multitude of flavors, it is sometimes hard to believe that the entire state of Rhode Island is smaller than the land area of Anchorage, Alaska, and only twice the size of Houston, Texas. It is proof that big tastes come in small packages. In Rhode Island clams go with just about everything and it doesn’t matter if there’s an “h” in the spelling of jonnycakes or not, as long as they’re made with stone-ground white cornmeal. Farm-to-fork dining has taken hold throughout the state, but nowhere more noticeably than in the two main cities of Newport and Providence. Rhode Island's celebrated chefs pride themselves on fresh products and putting a new spin on old traditions. With recipes for the home cook from over 65 of the state's most celebrated eateries and showcasing full-color photos featuring mouth-watering dishes, famous chefs, and lots of local flavor, <I>Providence & Rhode Island Chef's Table</I> is the ultimate gift and keepsake cookbook.</DIV>
