We are just a couple of island girls who love to cook and entertain our family and friends. Though we both own a library of cookbooks, we each went in search of Winnipesaukee-related recipes-- with no luck. We then realized there was a niche to be filled. We were very interested in knowing how other islanders entertained but were unable to find anything in print. This is how Winnipesaukee Cuisine came to be. It takes a special type of person to enjoy living on an island. Island ingenuity means being resourceful -- you learn to live with what you have – whether creating a recipe or making repairs. Many of our island recipes have evolved from pantry items on hand. This results in some creative dishes. We also realized that so many of our favorite island recipes had a good story or two attached to them…we thought it would be fun to share our stories and those of other islanders. We thoroughly enjoyed our visits with island neighbors—who so generously shared their own favorite recipes and stories. Celebrate the lifestyle with Hungry for Summer. Not only will it inspire you to cook, but this unique and timeless keepsake is the perfect gift to share with family and friends… Hungry for Summer is a great read. The stories will warm your heart. Definitely a book you’ll want to add to your collection! Jeannette and Daryl
