Lobster Riddles and Recipes

Charleston, SC, Jan. 06, 2025 – For over ten years, J.P. Cross, a Vermont native and University of Vermont alumnus, has vacationed with his family in Rockport, Massachusetts. And it was there, at a local lobster shack, that the inspiration for this book began. A culinary enthusiast, Cross has spent years perfecting and creating lobster recipes both professionally and at home. The result is a new cookbook to inspire future generations of lobster lovers.
“Lobster Riddles and Recipes” is a collection of lobster riddles and recipes created, compiled, and adapted over years of travel and experimentation. In addition to the classic New England boiled lobster dinner, this book includes a collection of lobster recipes, at varying degrees of difficulty, for appetizers, soups, salads, pastas and main dishes. To help make these magical crustaceans even more interesting, Cross weaves in lobster riddles alongside the recipes as well as fun facts, quotes, and a lobster quiz to test one’s knowledge of lobsters. Paying homage to the fishermen and purveyors of fresh lobsters throughout New England and the world, Cross also highlights the importance of sustainability practices for lobster fishing and consumption. Whether looking to find inventive recipes for lobster or learn more about the history of lobsters, Cross’s unconventional cookbook has it all. “It may just be the most complete and eclectic collection of lobster recipes available,” Cross says.
“Lobster Riddles and Recipes” is available for purchase on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
