Aragosta’s new cookbook, A Kitchen on Goose Cove by Devin Finigan, brings Deer Isle’s celebrated seasonal cooking into your home kitchen. From lobster toast and crab dumplings in tidal broth to scallop ceviche with pickled blueberries, these recipes capture Maine summer flavor at its most inventive … and most craveable.
A cookbook club menu featuring recipes from Kristina Cho’s Chinese Enough, including Chili Cumin Spiced Pork Ribs, Chicken, Corn, and Jalapeño Wontons with Miso Butter, Malty Banana Cream Pie, and standout dishes like Banh Mi Pasta Salad.
For January cookbook club, we cooked from Brunch Season by Suzanne Vizethann of Buttermilk Kitchen in Camden, Maine. The standout: low-and-slow ginger-orange short rib hash with crispy sweet potatoes and sunny eggs, paired with smoky charred kale tossed in a tangy buttermilk Caesar.
