Nantucket Open-House Cookbook

Featuring over 250 recipes that have drawn hungry visitors and Nantucket Island residents alike to Sarah Leah Chase’s popular gourmet shop, Que Sera Sarah, this cookbook is for anyone who wants to make the most of fair-weather dining all year round.

Sarah Leah Chase, co-author of The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook, knows that summer means long, lazy days of fun and getting together, throwing the doors open and inviting over everyone you know for the pleasures of good company and good food.

The author's eclectic combinations center on the freshest of seafood and produce, including sumptuous dishes and delectable desserts such as:

• A unique take on chilled clam chowder
• A fresh beachfront salad of scallops with orange and chervil vinaigrette
• Savory empanadas and turnovers
• A beautifully grilled bluefish redolent with lavender
• An extravagantly rich chocolate bombe
• A fruit tart glistening with a fortune of fresh raspberries and blueberries

Complete with just-baked muffins and breads for breakfasts best enjoyed in a huge wicker chair, and cool summer drinks for whiling away long afternoons, Nantucket Open-House Cookbook will give you that island summer feeling, all year long.
