Long a favorite in hardcover, Susan Simon's summertime classic is now available in paperback. Nantucket is more than a small island with a lot of personality -- it's a sweet, slow lifestyle worth emulating no matter where you live. Simon's love of Nantucket -- with its sunshine, picket fences, and sandy lanes; its baked clams, lobsters, and heavenly chowders -- shines through on every page of The Nantucket Table. Her fresh and easy recipes -- perfect for casual outdoor feasts with friends and family -- are complemented by Tom Eckerle's you-are-there photographs of the laziest season on the Island. Though the book features the specialties of Nantucket, it does not demand unusual ingredients. This is simple food at its seasonal peak, accessible anywhere. Summer-time Codfish Cakes, Lentils and Spinach in Cumin-Onion Vinaigrette, and Peach Melba Crostata are just a trip to the grocery away.

Review:
Susan Simon has lived in Europe, New York City, and on Nantucket, a windswept island off the New England coast. In The Nantucket Table she talks about the island, shares stories of her travels elsewhere, and presents recipes that weave flavors from Italy and beyond together with bluefish, cranberries, and other local island ingredients. Initially, agriculture and fishing supported life on Nantucket. During the 19th century, whaling drew away the island's men while creating one of the wealthiest ports in the world. When whaling declined, Nantucket residents settled back into scalloping and local farming. Meanwhile, this island also developed into a world famous summer resort.

Simon's recipes are mostly easy, summery dishes based on fresh vegetables, ripe fruits, and seafood, all combined with clear flavors. Her love for Italy shows in glowing Carrot Crostini, or Spaghetti with Fresh Tomato Sauce, or White Beans and Roasted Broccoli. She features seasonal produce in Gingery Lime-Blackberry Tart, and more local dishes, too. Anyone with a garden, access to a farmstand, and good, fresh fish can enjoy the sensuous, sunny food in The Nantucket Table. This quasi coffee-table book is also filled with tempting food photos and Tom Eckerle's wonderful pictures of bright Nantucket days.
