Description

Turn your kitchen into your own personal seafood shack and oyster bar with 120 recipes from the James Beard Award-winning restaurant that personifies the allure of Maine.

Eventide is destined to be well-used and well-loved. - Jenny Rosenstrach, New York Times bestselling author of Dinner: A Love Story

From one of the best restaurants in Maine comes a cookbook for easy entertaining and endless coastal-inspired cooking. Built on the pristine ingredients of southern Maine, including the world's best shellfish, Eventide restaurant is renowned for bringing this bounty to the table with a thoughtfully rooted yet experimental and improvisational style of cooking and hospitality. The result is modernized lobster shack and oyster bar fare with distinct additions from Maine's classic "down east" cooking style. Whether you live by the coast or not, you'll love these 120 recipes, including:

Eventide's famed Brown Butter Lobster Roll on a Bao Bun
Oysters with Kimchi Ice
Tuna Tartare with Ramen Crackers
Family-Style Maine Clambake (with instructions for cooking in your home or in the wilderness)
Tempura Smelts with Spicy Tzatziki
New England Clam Chowder with Homemade Saltines
Smoked Shellfish
Honey-Roasted Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches

Beautiful photo tours of the breathtaking wilds of southern Maine bring this incredible collection to life. Also included are guides to properly buying and preparing seafood and shellfish for unexpectedly easy crudo spreads and raw bar dishes. Through recipes, profiles of local food makers, stories of Maine's foodways, and of the seafood that makes the New England coastline so iconic, Eventide is a tribute to the region and an indispensable resource.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Eventide by Andrew Taylor and Arlin Smith captures the essence of a beloved seafood restaurant in Portland, offering a taste of its Maine-inspired magic through a collection of recipes. The book is celebrated for bringing the unique flair of a renowned seafood shack into home kitchens, blending classic clam shack favourites with modern, innovative touches. With praise for both its delicious recipes and its ability to evoke the coastal charm of New England, the book is highly recommended for anyone looking to bring a bit of Maine's seaside flavour into their culinary repertoire.
