The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook by Meredith Hayden

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pour yourself something good and settle in with this stunning cookbook from Meredith Hayden of Wishbone Kitchen—where everyday meals meet elevated entertaining, and every season deserves celebrating.

Drawing from her years as a private chef in New York City and the Hamptons, plus childhood summers on Nantucket, Meredith brings you 100 recipes that feel both effortless and elegant. This is cooking with a cocktail in hand, the kind of food that makes you want to throw open your doors and gather everyone you love around the table.

Inside, you’ll discover dishes for every occasion and mood: Blueberry BBQ Grilled Chicken Salad for lazy summer evenings, Pink Lemon Pasta when friends drop by after work, and show-stopping centerpieces like a proper Nantucket Clam Bake. Learn to break down lobster like a pro, master the art of oyster shucking, and finally nail that Really Good Guac. From Hot Crab Dip to Asparagus Fries with Feta, these are recipes designed for sharing, grazing, and lingering over.

With gorgeous photography, witty commentary, and thoughtfully curated seasonal menus, The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook transforms everyday cooking into something worth celebrating. Whether you’re meal-prepping the Farro Broccoli Salad or hosting an impromptu gathering, Meredith shows you how to romanticize your time in the kitchen and rediscover the pure joy of cooking for the people you love.
