Nantucket Holiday Table

Additional Details

Description: The Cranberries are ripening, the beach-plum jelly is ready, and the scalloping season is just about to begin. Starting with the first crisp breath of September all the way to the sparkle of the New Year, Nantucket Island takes on its own special glow during the holiday season. From Thanksgiving to Chanukah to Christmas, the Island in winter celebrates a slower pace and an old New England style. 

Susan Simon, author of The Nantucket Table, returns to her beloved island to serve up personal stories, historical tidbits, and more than 75 wonderful recipes, such as Hot Mulled Wine with Chestnuts and brimming bowls of Caldo Verde (in honor of the Island's many Portuguese settlers) as well as Holiday Table Lobster and Scallop Stew and Cranberry Beach-Plum Cheesecake. 

Festive mornings begin with Salmon Hash with Poached Eggs or Almond French Toast with Caramelized Applesauce, followed by a cozy lunch of Wintertime Codfish Cakes with Egg Sauce or warming Chicken Chowder. Friends and family gather round for Fancy Yankee Pot Roast, Maple Syrup-Baked Beans, and Pumpkin Caramel Pudding. 

Illustrated with over 70 full-color photographs, The Nantucket Holiday Table captures the bountiful spirit of the island, making it the perfect gift for everyone who holds this special place close to their heart.
