4.0 out of 5 stars great cookbook with accurate recipes, January 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Martha's Vineyard Cookbook, 3rd: Over 250 Recipes and Lore from a Bountiful Island (Cookbooks) (Paperback)

Coming from generations of Islanders, I have grown up with many of the recipes that are in here. They are quite accurate in detailing culinary life on the Island. The recipes are fairly easy for those with any success in the kitchen and allow everyone to get a glimpse of our food. The Portuguese section also contains some of the recipes that are so popular in our Holy Ghost celebration. For any natives, tourists, or just lovers of our beautiful island, this cookbook is a must!
