The New England table / by Lora Brody ; photographs by Susie Cushner.

The New England states are a pretty close-knit group in fact, you could conceivably hop in the car and eat your way through all six states in a single day. Fortunately there's The New England Table an easier way to enjoy the bounty of the northeast. Celebrated author of The Cape Cod Table and Boston area resident Lora Brody has combed Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut to share the wonderful dishes this rugged region is especially proud of from traditional favorites such as Boston Baked Beans to enticing modern classics such as Red Flannel Salmon Hash or Pear and Candied Ginger Clafouti. With its evocative photographs of New England's people and places, and irresistible recipes, The New England Table will have everyone pining for a peaceful breakfast repast at Rangeley Lake, a musical picnic at Tanglewood, or an al fresco dinner in Litchfield County.
