The Martha'S Vineyard Cookbook

Seven miles off the coast of Massachusetts, this charming island is home to over one hundred restaurants and cafés, fifty farms, six bakeries, five fish markets, four coffee roasters, two breweries, and one (very popular) farmers’ market. It is a world-class cooking and eating destination, with something new and exciting to discover around every corner. This cookbook is an edible tour across the island’s six towns, with signature appetizers, entrées, desserts, and drinks from each locale. Start the day with warm Cranberry Maple Oat Scones, then transport yourself to the seaside with Brown-Butter Lobster Rolls, Roasted Clams with Hot Sauce Butter, and Bloody Mary Tuna with a side of Corn and Heirloom Tomato Salad with Honey Herb Vinaigrette. Cool off with an Agricultural Fair–favorite Espresso Float while exploring the island through the eyes of summer residents and well-loved locals who share their perfect days on the Vineyard. Beyond New England’s culinary treasures, Martha’s Vineyard is also home to a diverse year-round community that brings their own flavors to the table, from Jamaican fried chicken to wobbly Brazilian flan, just as deserving an exploration as the hunt for the best chowder. Told through 100 recipes with stories and photographs, The Martha’s Vineyard Cookbook is more than a cookbook—it is a portrait and a love letter to the places and people that make this island so vibrant and unique and utterly delicious.
