When Karen Covey moved to the South Coast of Massachusetts, she found an
exceptional community of farmers, winemakers, chefs, cheesemakers, and
fishermen thriving upon the region s unique coastal geography, quietly
producing some of the best food in the Northeast. Until recently,
though, few outside the culinary world have discovered the breadth and
caliber of ingredients available from the coastline of Southern New
England. That s about to change. Using her adopted region as
inspiration, Covey captures seaside living in New England at its
freshest and most innovative. With more than 120 recipes, including
several from some of the area s most notable chefs, this book shows us
how to savor the spectacular food and flavors coming from the region.
The Coastal Table is filled with ideas for casual beach days,
sophisticated outdoor entertaining, and simple, everyday meals that
celebrate the epicurean heritage of this remarkable coastal region. This
is the book for the home cook who yearns for the seaside and its flavors
all year round.
