About this item

Featuring more than 250 innovative recipes that respect and transcend regional food traditions. The basis of great cooking has always been the creative use of fresh, seasonal ingredients - whether the kitchen is at home or in a high-end restaurant. At the renowned Black Trumpet restaurant, located in the historic seacoast city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Chef Evan Mallett and his staff reflect the constantly changing seasons of New England, celebrating the unique flavors and traditions of fished, farmed, and foraged foods in their ever-changing menus that rotate roughly every six weeks throughout the course of the year. From deep winter's comfort dishes to the first run of maple syrup during Mud Season; from the first flush of greens in early spring to the embarrassment of high summer's bounty and fall's final harvest -- Evan Mallett offers more than 250 innovative recipes that draw not only on classic regional foodways, but on the author's personal experiences with Mexican, Mediterranean, and other classic world cuisines.
