Picnics of New England

Imagine Maine lobsters and fresh blueberry pie savored outdoors on the same rockbound coast that inspired Homer and Hopper; or a crusty loaf stuffed with melted cheeses, artichoke hearts, and roasted peppers enjoyed in the sunny warmth of an island painted by Turner. Illustrated with watercolor landscapes by Frank W. Benson, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, and others, and featuring recipes for everything from a Maine clambake to a fall foliage picnic, this book provides the ingredients for eight memorable feasts.
