A love letter of a cookbook that captures the allure of Maine and its iconic food and bounty of ingredients, from Devin Finigan, chef-owner of Aragosta, named one of Food + Wine's best restaurants in 2024 and 2025.

There is an allure to Maine that captures the imagination of so many: it's a longing for a simpler pace of life, it's the idyllic small towns, village greens, seaside vistas, and an endless coastline. With Maine's pristine seafood and seasonal fruits, produce, and grains, Maine is also a magical place to cook.

From a kitchen on a rugged coastline in Deer Isle, Maine, chef Devin Finigan uses Maine's iconic ingredientsβ€”from lobster and clams to honey and fiddleheadsβ€”to make incredible meals. Her Lobster Rolls, Scallops with Wild Ramp Sauce, Mussel Chowder, Duck Breast with Peach Sauce, Tomato Galette, and Whoopie Pies draw thousands of visitors each year who book tables months in advance to dine at her restaurant Aragosta, which was named the #2 best restaurant in the U.S. by Food & Wine.

Finigan's first book is a love letter-cookbook about Maine and everything that makes it the destination that 37 million people choose to visit each year. With 75 recipes for classic Maine dishes and new spins on old favourites plus 100 gorgeous photos, this will be the Maine cookbook to transport fans, foodies, and tourists alike to this unspoiled region.

The foreword will be written by Erin French, chef and bestselling author of The Lost Kitchen.

About the Author

Devin Finigan grew up in the Green Mountains of Vermont, learning her love of cooking from her dad who was a chef. On chance visit to Deer Isle, Maine, she decided to give up her dream of becoming an Olympic snow boarder and make her life in the picturesque Maine island. She founded her restaurant Aragosta in 2013, in a small oceanfront space in Stonington. Over the following six years, she developed her unique vision for modern fine dining with a pronounced Maine accent, honing her skills as stagiere in the celebrated kitchens of The French Laundry, Per Se, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and Single Thread. In 2019, she moved her restaurant and two daughters to a stunning 22-acre forest overlooking Goose Cove. In 2024 Food & Wine recognized Aragosta as the # 2 restaurant in America and in 2025 Food & Wine named it the #2 Hotel for food and drink. Follow along @aragosta.maine.
