Fresh & Honest is centered around Davis s belief in sustainable dining and the use of local, farm-fresh foods. The 218-page, full color cookbook was coauthored by Alexandra Hall, and is energized by the spectacular photography of recipes, farms, and coastlines by Heath Robbins. Sidebars scattered throughout the book highlight New England farmers and purveyors, bringing the story of New England cuisine to life. And, of course, Davis s recipes are tantalizing. Home chefs will discover dishes such as Roasted Beet Salad with Chevre, Arugula, and Blood Orange Vinaigrette; Butternut Squash Pie; Smoked Scallop Chowder; Grit Cakes with Mushrooms; Cornmeal-Crusted Monkfish Sandwich; Cider Braised Pork; Blue Cheese Potatoes au Gratin; and Baked Stuffed Apples.

I received this book as a Christmas gift and love it. I am a decent cook, but admit I'm not an ambitious or adventursome one. What I like about this book is that it is straight forward, I recognize the ingredients, and it all looks delicious. I have tried a few recipes and have been very happy (as has my family) with the results.
I believe that local is healthy and am a fan of Henrietta's Table and now an even bigger fan of Peter Davis' cooking. I recommend this book for novice and seasoned chefs.
Bon appetite.

Love the philosophy of fresh and local....simple food....organic & fresh. Don't need lots of other stuff to make a good dish. Great pics...and lots of good local resources!

I recently ate at Henrietta's Table in Cambridge, and had a wonderful experience, so when I saw that they had a cookbook, I was "all in." Unfortunately, the recipes in this book do not compare to the excellent and creative food served at the restaurant. The book is beautiful, with gorgeous pictures throughout, but the artistry of the presentation is far superior to the recipes included in the book.
