Publisher's Synopsis
In The Fire Island Cookbook, food and travel writers Mike DeSimone and Jeff Jenssen have put together a mouth-watering collection of meals using seasonal produce perfect for summer weekends away with friends and family. Each one of the fourteen menus is influenced by the authors' travels in Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Mexico and Hungary and includes course by course wine pairings for each meal. Much more than a simple compendium of ingredients and techniques, The Fire Island Cookbook includes photographs of actual dinner parties, homes, tables, plates, landscapes, and beaches.
Every chapter features a short introduction, followed by a virtual dinner party: Recipes for a full menu from appetizer to dessert, photos, serving suggestions, plating ideas, and wine pairings. Whether Fire Island is your dream vacation, an occasional weekend destination, or the place you call home from April to October, you are sure to enjoy this collection of recipes, menus, photos, and entertaining ideas.
