The Nantucket Restaurants Cookbook: Menus and Recipes from the Faraway Isle
Melissa Clark
The Nantucket Restaurants Cookbook is exactly that, a collection of menus from a whole host of restaurants on Nantucket Island.

Their Grilled Veal Medallions with Fresh Horseradish Cream and Poached Oysters is more than worth the time it takes to prepare. While you can't enjoy the setting of The
