“I’ve adored Sarah Chase’s cookbooks for decades! This is exactly what you want to cook at home—delicious, satisfying, earthy food your friends and family will love.”
—Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa Cookbooks and Television

From a born-and-bred New Englander comes a book that sings with all the flavors and textures of the beloved region. Sarah Leah Chase is a caterer, cooking teacher, and prolific writer whose books—including The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook (as coauthor) and Nantucket Open-House Cookbook—have over 3.4 million copies in print. For New England Open-House Cookbook, she draws from her memories of growing up in Connecticut and Maine; her experience living and cooking on Cape Cod; and her extensive travels meeting farmers, fishermen, and chefs. The result is a wide-ranging cookbook for everyone who has skied the mountains of Vermont, sailed off the coast of Maine, dug for clams on Cape Cod, or just wishes they had. It reflects the bountiful ingredients and recipes of New England, served up in evocative prose, gorgeous full-color photographs, and 300 delicious recipes.

All of New England’s classic dishes are represented, including a wealth of shellfish soups and stews and a full chapter celebrating lobster. From breakfast (Debbie’s Blue Ribbon Maine Muffins) to delightful appetizers and nibbles (Tiny Tumbled Tomatoes, Oysters “Clark Rockefeller”) to mains for every season and occasion: Baked Bluefish with New Potatoes and Summer Rib Eyes with Rosemary, Lemon, and Garlic. Plus: perfect picnic recipes, farmstand sides, and luscious desserts.

Title: New England cooking
Review: This is a wonderful book. Full of tasty, homey and doable recipes you can make on weeknights, weekends, and parties. The name says it all, you will get lots of recipes with seafood and ingredients that are available in New England and maybe hard to get everywhere else, so beware of this if you don’t live in New England and would not like to search for New England ingredients.In a time where Mexican, Indian, Arab, Korean, and fusion food are all the rave (and I LOVE them all), finding a cookbook with contemporary dishes and old time favorites with simple, soft, and “kind” flavors is a breath of fresh air. This does not mean that the recipes are boring or tasteless, all the opposite, they are full of fresh, vibrant, interesting and delicious flavors. And yes, New England also has the influence of many cultures and cuisines from the people from around the world that has called home that part of the Northeast, and you will see that on some recipes.The book took 5 years to be completed and Mrs. Chase searched through many community cookbooks, old recipes, family and friend’s kitchen and her own twist on local food. The collection of recipes is so interesting you will find a dish for every time, season, celebration or holiday, all New England style and all delicious.My only complaint? As with so many cookbooks, you don’t get a list of recipes on each chapter so if you want to find a specific soup you made some days ago, you better remember the page or some of the ingredients to search on the Index or worst, the name of the soup, which I never memorize, and again you have to go to the Index to find it. This fashion of no recipe list has to come to an end and soon, please!

Title: I LOVE this cookbook
Review: I LOVE this cookbook! I ordered it because of the fact that she and Ina are friends, and I just happen to be an Ina fan as well. I loved browsing the recipes in this book, and I loved reading the "essays" as to how and why and where these recipes came from. Also, being new to the greater Boston area via the beaches of Southern California, I was looking for something to deepen my appreciation and love of my new home. This book has really helped with that! And her recipes are AMAZING!! They fool you with how good they are! I found myself, on more than on one occasion, feeling a bit apprehensive with the combinations of ingredients and flavors I was assembling into a dish, but the finished product has always been amazing. Sarah Leah Chase is obviously a master at this, and it is reflected in her recipes. It is true however, that this book does speak "New England" fare, so if I ever found myself calling a beach city in Southern California my home once again, I'm not sure how much I would refer to this book. But, there is a southwestern influence in her cooking which I find interesting and very much appreciate. Buy this book! You won't be disappointed!

Title: Other recipes (Beer Can Chicken) recommend using specialty purchases
Review: Interesting compendium of anecdotes (Sarah Leah Chase has family and friends who are foodies, food columnists, chefs, and "ordinary" home cooks), and tasty recipes. The digital version Table of Contents contains links to chapters, but no links to individual recipes, and it is necessary to page through each chapter to discover the variety of recipes within each chapter heading. And she uses mayonnaise in some recipes, but includes a link for 'homemade' in addition to suggesting commercially-available brands. Other recipes (Beer Can Chicken) recommend using specialty purchases, such as locally-available soda, high-hops beer, and so forth, but these can be modified to utilize ingredients available to your own region's stores and kitchen.Being a born-and-bred New Englander (living many other places for "work") myself, I find it interesting that most of the recipes have an upscale, global cuisine tone. However, since much of New England was settled, and visited, by sea-faring traders as well as immigrants from many nations along its history, this approach has some historic relevance. If, though, you are looking for "old fashioned" New England recipes which hearken back to the centuries-old treatments of locavore items ("old-timey" pies, cakes and cookies, thrifty candied fruit peels, sumac and berry compotes, home cured meats and cheeses, etc), look elsewhere. If you are looking for tasty entertaining and home-table fare which nods toward locavore providers and incorporates cosmopolitan approaches to techniques and ingredients, this is a great exploration of Sarah Leah Chase's lifelong appreciation of the treatment and tasting of food.

Review: I love Sarah's other cookbooks (they are well worn in my kitchen and I use them all the time) and I've been waiting for years for her to publish another one. I just received this book a few days ago and I want to make almost every recipe in it! I already made the Poppy Seed Coleslaw and it was delicious! Her recipes are always easy, well-tested and very tasty. She is also a great writer, so this cookbook is a great read. It is commendable that she took time off to raise her son (I agree with the quote from Jackie Kennedy that if you bungle raising your children, you don't have much to show in your life), but I am so glad she is back now and publishing again. Please give us more Sarah Leah Chase cookbooks! And, I really love this new New England Open House Cookbook!
