There’s a lot more to Maine than stunning coastline. Sure, come for the incomparable lobster rolls or the state’s renowned blueberries, but stay for the locally milled grains, organic grass-fed meats, and surprising foraged delicacies. The Maine Farm Table Cookbook brings the Pine Tree State’s vibrant food community directly to your kitchen with 125 recipes that celebrate the best of local, seasonal cooking.
Kate Shaffer, Maine cookbook author and chocolatier, teams up with acclaimed food photographer Derek Bissonnette to create a stunning culinary journey from pasture and sea to forest and creamery. Each recipe tells a story of Maine’s agricultural heritage—think Autumn Harvest Roast Pork, Haddock and Corn Chowder, Carrot Zucchini Fritters, and Blackberry and Almond Torte that taste like they came straight from a farmhouse kitchen.
What makes this cookbook special are the intimate profiles of Maine’s beloved farms like Dandelion Spring and celebrated restaurants like The Lost Kitchen. These glimpses into the people and places behind the food add depth and authenticity to every page. The gorgeous professional photography captures not just the dishes, but the spirit of Maine itself—the weathered hands of farmers, morning mist over fields, the honest beauty of ingredients at their peak.
Whether you’re a Maine native longing for home cooking or a visitor who fell in love with New England’s culinary charm, this cookbook brings the warmth and flavor of Maine’s farm-to-table movement to your own table. It’s more than recipes—it’s an invitation to cook with the seasons and celebrate what grows close to home.
