More than a decade ago, Bob and Melinda Blanchard decided
to follow their dreams, taking a risk that many of us would
not chance: They uprooted themselves from the cold winters
of Vermont, moved to the Caribbean island of Anguilla,
opened a seaside restaurant, and settled into the beautiful
rhythms of a new life on island time. The Blanchards
chronicled this inspiring transformation in their book A
Trip to the Beach—the story of their journey to living the
life they love. Here, in Cook What You Love, Bob and
Melinda extend that journey into the pleasures of the
kitchen, teaching us that even if we can’t move to
paradise, we can create our own little paradise wherever we
are, at any time of year. In Cook What You Love, Bob and Melinda bring food and
people together in the kitchen and around the table. With
simple ingredients, no-fuss instructions, and flavorful
meals that can be prepared in a snap, this book celebrates
the Blanchards’ knack for combining the sublime comforts of
great food and great company with glimpses into their
paradise. Cook What You Love blends many of the Blanchards’ favorite
recipes with anecdotes about how their love for food seeps
into every part of life. Bob and Melinda’s transporting
stories take you from making tortillas and salsa in the
mountains of Mexico to discovering the combination of lime,
coconut, and ginger in Thailand and grilling chicken and
ribs at an Anguillan bike race. From Blue Cheese and Mango
Bundles, Reggae Pork, and Pistachio-Crusted Goat Cheese
Salad to Crunchy Coconut French Toast, Pumpkin Whoopie
Pies, and Key Lime Pound Cake, every recipe merges the
timeless flavors of the Blanchards’ classic New England
roots with the rich influences of the Caribbean. The delicious recipes are accompanied by expert cooking
tips and, to make it easy, include prep and cooking times.
Cook What You Love joins some of the Blanchards’ most
celebrated restaurant recipes with their personal home-
cooked favorites, creating an incredible breadth of both
everyday and special-occasion dishes—all enlivened with
their infectious enthusiasm for exploring new tastes,
places, and friendships around the common bond of food.
