The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook
The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook Author:Joseph Hall, Elaine Sullivan "The first cookbook ever from The Black Dog will enable you to take home a delectable piece of Martha's Vineyard. Here are the best recipes from the summertime, menu of a true American institution. — The Black Dog's story began in 1971 on the beach in Vineyard Haven Harbor when Captain Bob Douglas opened an eighty-eight-seat restaura... more »nt named for the Captain's beloved Labrador retriever. It was called a tavern despite the fact that Vineyard Haven is a "dry" town. Over the past thirty years, The Black Dog Tavern has grown from a small island haunt to a nationally renowned restaurant. Today no trip to the Vineyard by presidents, movie stars, or the rest of us is complete without a meal at The Black Dog.
To start a summer's day, tourists and native islanders alike line up for hours for The Black Dog's bountiful breakfasts. Now you can make these same meals at home: the lusty Huey, Louie, Andouille omelet or glorious Mango Blueberry Pancakes. Lunch is equally popular at the Dog, and you can enjoy the famed Quahog Chowder, a New England classic, or their equally delicious, though more exotic, Hot and Sour Soup. The Black Dog's chefs will teach you how to prepare classic New England starters like Stuffed Quahogs and even how to open a clam with no fuss. Dinner choices at The Black Dog always include delectable seafood preparations, but there are many other choices, too, like Crusty Pecan Chicken with Lemon Ginger Sauce and Southwestern Rubbed Stripsteak. Stir-Fried Zucchini with Peanut Sauce takes advantage of summer bounty, while Fudge-Bottom Pie makes an irresistible dessert with a minimum of preparation. Filled with more than 130 recipes that celebrate fresh summer ingredients, along with colorful tales of the Vineyard and the Dog's adventurous crew, this book will enable you to enjoy a taste of summer on the Vineyard anytime."« less
