Escape to the Maine seashore, an exquisite summer sanctuary
where vacations stretch out forever during long, golden days
and food is the stuff from which memories are made. The summers that acclaimed chef Rebecca Charles and her
family spent swimming in the Atlantic, scouring the beach
for shells, and eating shore dinners inspired her to open
the famed Greenwich Village restaurant Pearl Oyster Bar. In
this heartwarming memoir, Rebecca combines more than seventy
of her favorite recipes with captivating family stories. Rebecca's adventurous granduncle Sam Goldsmith first took
the family from the sweltering summer streets of Brooklyn to
the exclusive seaside resort of Kennebunkport. But it was
his sister–in–law Pearle Goldsmith, Pearl Oyster Bar's
namesake and an opera singer with the Metropolitan and New
York City operas, who fell in love with the rugged coast of
Maine. Pearle passed this love on to her daughter, Eleanor,
and her granddaughter, Rebecca. Rebecca recounts her family's three–generation love affair
with the small Yankee fishing village and shares the recipes
that have New Yorkers waiting in line for hours to taste
what food writer Ed Levine described as "the best lobster
roll I have ever eaten." Rebecca breathes new life into classic beach food. Whether
re–creating an old–time clambake or grilling a whole
pompano, she imparts the expertise that has made her one of
the foremost seafood chefs in the country.
