Nantucket Table

"Susan Simon...has put together an appealing collection of easy-to-make dishes that draw on the seafood, fruits and vegetables she cooks with on the island, mingling ideas and ingredients she has picked up during her travels around the always useful Mediterranean rim....The book is a bit of a conjuring trick since there is no such thing as Nantucket cuisine....[T]here's virtually nothing to distinguish Nantucket food from the food eaten all over New England and beyond....No, Nantucket is an idea, a dream, a vision of the good life, American style, as it is lived in summer beach resorts. Simon works this slender premise harder than a sled dog...."Simon, Susan is the author of 'Nantucket Table' with ISBN 9780811814720 and ISBN 0811814726.
