"A perfect Martha's Vineyard guidebook" from the acclaimed culinary historian and winner of the James Beard Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award ( Publishers Weekly ). Martha's Vineyard has long been renowned as a popular vacation destination, but few are aware of the island's rich culinary history. The Martha's Vineyard Table celebrates the cuisine of this seaside escape with such treats as Codfish Fritters, Stuffed Quahogs, Corn Pudding, and Cranberry-Apple Crisp. In addition to 80 recipes, Jessica Harris captures the charm of the island's gingerbread cottages, lobster fishermen, artisan fudge shops, and farmers' markets in her short essays on Vineyard life. For the nostalgic visitor and for those who dream of vacationing there, The Martha's Vineyard Table brings the island to life. "It includes culinary contributions from many groups that call the Vineyard home: Jamaicans' Codfish Fritters and Red Pea Soup with Spinners; Portuguese specialties of Kale Soup and Jagacida (a dish of linguiça, beans, and rice); African American dishes like Cornbread and Collard Green Pie; and Wampanoag-inspired Corn Pudding and Cranberry-Apple Crisp." — Martha's Vineyard Magazine
