James Martin’s American Adventure will cook up some magic this week
Popular British chef and television host James Martin is on an American Adventure, and it includes Salem, Massachusetts. Salem locations including Turner’s Seafood, The House of the Seven Gables, Salem Spice, and Crow Haven Corner are expected to appear in the episode.
The chef and his production crew filmed for the episode in Salem, and one in Boston, in 2017. They conducted interviews with Jim Turner at Turner’s Seafood, David Bowie at Salem Spiceon Pickering Wharf, and Lorelei Stathopoulos at Crow Haven Corner. The shoot also included a cooking demonstration on the lawn of The House of the Seven Gables using locally sourced ingredients.
In addition to the television show, a cookbook has been published by Quadrille. James Martin’s American Adventure features 80 classic American recipes including Seafood on Toast, inspired by Turner’s Seafood, and a Salem Seafood Feast, which is the meal Martin prepared at The House of the Seven Gables. The cookbook also includes a recipe for Tuna Burgers with Lime & Yuzu Mayo that was inspired by Martin’s impromptu experience at Joe’s Fish Prints on Pickering Wharf, which he described as a “fascinating art shop.”
