Synopsis

Sarah Leah Chase, co-author of The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook, knows that summer means long, lazy days of fun and getting together, of throwing the doors open and inviting over everyone you know for the pleasures of good company and good food. Now, cooks everywhere can create more than 250 of the recipes that have drawn hungry visitors and residents to her popular gourmet shop, Que Sera Sarah on Nantucket Island.

The author's eclectic combinations center on the freshest of seafood and produce, and induce hearty summer appetites to indulge in a unique chilled clam chowder, a fresh beachfront salad of Scallops with Orange and Chervil Vinaigrette, savory empanadas and turnovers, or a beautifully grilled bluefish redolent with lavender. Sumptuous meals must end with the proper desserts: an extravagantly rich Chocolate Bombe or a fruit tart glistening with a fortune of fresh raspberries and blueberries.

Complete with just-baked muffins and breads for breakfasts best enjoyed in a huge wicker chair and cool summer drinks for whiling away long afternoons, Nantucket Open-House Cookbook is for anyone who wants to make the most of fair-weather dining all year round.

Over 214,000 copies in print.

Reviews

Chase, the capable co-author of The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook and owner of a successful restaurant and fine food shop on Nantucket, likes bright sunny flavors and foods served cold or at room temperature. And, yes, fresh seasonal ingredients. Her cuisine is imaginative: orange rosemary muffins with sliced duck breast and smoked bluefish pate.It's a la minute: Tahitian vanilla nuts and cornmeal blinis with three caviars. From appetizers through desserts, her recipes are inviting and often easy to prepare. An attractive, useful cookbook. For wide purchase. SP
