Full Description
A love letter of a cookbook that captures the allure of Maine and its iconic food and bounty of ingredients, from Devin Finigan, chef-owner of Aragosta, named one of Food + Wine's best restaurants in 2024 and 2025.
There is an allure to Maine that captures the imagination of so many: it's a longing for a simpler pace of life, it's the idyllic small towns, village greens, seaside vistas, and an endless coastline. With Maine's pristine seafood and seasonal fruits, produce, and grains, Maine is also a magical place to cook. From a kitchen on a rugged coastline in Deer Isle, Maine, chef Devin Finigan uses Maine's iconic ingredients-from lobster and clams to honey and fiddleheads-to make incredible meals. Her Lobster Rolls, Scallops with Wild Ramp Sauce, Mussel Chowder, Duck Breast with Peach Sauce, Tomato Galette, and Whoopie Pies draw thousands of visitors each year who book tables months in advance to dine at her restaurant Aragosta, which was named the #2 best restaurant in the U.S. by Food & Wine. Finigan's first book is a love letter-cookbook about Maine and everything that makes it the destination that 37 million people choose to visit each year. With 75 recipes for classic Maine dishes and new spins on old favorites plus 100 gorgeous photos, this will be the Maine cookbook to transport fans, foodies, and tourists alike to this unspoiled region. The foreword will be written by Erin French, chef and bestselling author of The Lost Kitchen.
