Product Description
From Amazon
The Black Dog Tavern on Martha's Vineyard is a cult classic--and anyone who's eaten there will recognize the distinctive black-lab T-shirt that fans of the restaurant all over the world wear. Now, with The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook, by Elaine Sullivan, those same diners can bring the Dog's savory new New England fare back home as well. The best of these 100-some recipes center around the Black Dog's specialty: breakfast. Aficionados will find such familiar favorites as Eggs in the Grass (poached eggs over asparagus with hollandaise sauce), "M" Go Blue (banana and blueberry pancakes; the name recalls a University of Michigan cheer), and Huey, Louie, Andouille (a pepper, onion, and andouille sausage omelet). The book's step-by-step depiction of omelet preparation is particularly useful, even for veterans; the illustrations for this and other cooking technicalities, like clam opening, are precise and educational. Other standout recipes include Quahog Chowder, Crunchy Pecan Chicken with Lemon Sauce, Caramelized Scallops with Smoked Chili Cream, and Seared Tuna on Watercress Salad. Desserts such as Fudge Bottom Pie, Blueberry Pudding with Lemon Sauce, and Black Dog Ginger Cookies evoke the Black Dog's comfy-cosmo flavor, while scattered pictures and vignettes evoke the restaurant's casual vibe. With a pantry listing and useful cooking tips, this exuberantly designed book is a happy, well-produced effort.
Book Description

An over hyped menagerie of recipes. Some are very good, but the over promotion of the expensive restaurant is too much to bear

This review is from: The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook (Hardcover)
I happen to love this book - it has the best hummus recipe I have ever used, a fresh tomato sauce that is perfect for the summer vine-ripened beauties, ideas for unusual marinades, and terrific grilling tips. Fudge Bottom Pie is one of my family's favorite desserts, and the Molasses Ginger Cookies are the best ever out of my kitchen. The photography is lovely and the anecdotes are entertaining. Praises out of the way - the recipes can call for some difficult to find ingredients, such as Asian sauces and produce, seafood your market may not always have, funky oils and mustards. A pet peeve of mine is to hear celebrity chefs tote how Japanese mirin is available "right in the regular grocery store." Well, it is not in MY grocery store! But since I love to cook, I tend to keep a shopping list of "exotic goodies" that I need in order to try certain recipes and make a single trip every month or so to the expensive specialty grocery store. If you don't mind the occasional search for "Pommery Mustard," (the recipe that calls for this deems it 'essential,' even though there is only a half a teaspoon required) then this book is worth a look. Get it for next summer and some fresh ideas for your family.
