Cookbook Profile: The Cape Cod Table

The Cape Cod Table

by Lora Brody

Cape Cod Table

Who better than best-selling author Lora Brody to introduce us to the memorable recipes of her beloved Cape Cod? As famed for its culinary traditions as its natural beauty, the Cape is a cornucopia of delicious ingredients.

In these pages, the catch-of-the-day is transformed into kabobs of grilled scallops and creamy bowls of Fish Chowder, and the fruits of the land into bright berry tarts and muffins. From the quintessential clambake to Beach Plum Jam—each of the 100 recipes celebrate this unforgettably beautiful peninsula. Gorgeous photographs paint a vibrant picture of the villages, the people, and—best of all—the food, which, thanks to the bounty of most markets these days, can be enjoyed just about anywhere. The Cape Cod Table may be the next best thing to a vacation on the Cape.
