About this product

Product Information

Escape to the Maine seashore, an exquisite summer sanctuary where vacations stretch out forever during long, golden days and food is the stuff from which memories are made. The summers that acclaimed chef Rebecca Charles and her family spent swimming in the Atlantic, scouring the beach for shells, and eating shore dinners inspired her to open the famed Greenwich Village restaurant Pearl Oyster Bar. In this heartwarming memoir, Rebecca combines more than seventy of her favorite recipes with captivating family stories. Rebecca's adventurous granduncle Sam Goldsmith first took the family from the sweltering summer streets of Brooklyn to the exclusive seaside resort of Kennebunkport. But it was his sister-in-law Pearle Goldsmith, Pearl Oyster Bar's namesake and an opera singer with the Metropolitan and New York City operas, who fell in love with the rugged coast of Maine. Pearle passed this love on to her daughter, Eleanor, and her granddaughter, Rebecca. Rebecca recounts her family's three-generation love affair with the small Yankee fishing village and shares the recipes that have New Yorkers waiting in line for hours to taste what food writer Ed Levine described as "the best lobster roll I have ever eaten." Rebecca breathes new life into classic beach food. Whether re-creating an old-time clambake or grilling a whole pompano, she imparts the expertise that has made her one of the foremost seafood chefs in the country.

One of NYC's quintessential restaurants!
Within the pages of this enchanting history of a family and a seaside town in Maine, the story of an amazing New York City restaurant - Pearl Oyster Bar - unfolds. This is an excellent read, with the yummy recipes (e.g., the famous Lobster Roll, my favorite Pan-Fried Skate, along with an array of sides and desserts) taking a backseat to Rebecca Charles' memories of family, becoming a chef, and opening her own restaurant. It is packed with culinary tales and tips, with particular emphasis on (surprise!) seafood. Rebecca Charles has mastered the art of "preparing simple food well;" she also spins an intriguing tale. This book makes you want to travel back in time to the early days of Kennebunkport and enjoy a day at the beach with Pearle's family ... or at the very least visit the Greenwich Village restaurant that bears her name. Well done!Read full review

Lobster Rolls and Blueberry pie!
I borrowed this book from a Jewish friend this summer while looking for a quick read. I was interested to find how a Jewish family in New York City ended up in Maine for summer holidays. As I got deeper into the book, I loved reading about each family member, their past, their lives, likes, etc. It was fascinating reading into a family's personal history and it was sprinkled with recipes as well as photos(loved them!) and anecdotes. While in Maine this summer, I visited my brother and his wife with her family. There were many similarities-her family had been coming to the same little town in Maine for 40 years, 3 + generations vacationed there along with many friends who came over the years and returned. When I was there, 30+ friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. came over to dinner. I gave my sister in law's mother this book and she also truly enjoyed it. It's not a book one may read over and over except for the recipes but I thought it was a worthwhile book to spend a few summer days with.Read full review

Bought the book because I took a cooking demo class with Rebecca Charles. She owns a restaurant in New York City called Pearls Oyster Restaurant. However, the book has some mistakes in it that she admits to so that is why I only gave it a good rating. People at the class who bought the hardcover edition that was autographed paid about $25, but at Half-Com the soft covered edtion was a fraction of the cost.

A nice book but more story than recipe. Not what I was looking for.

Lobster Rolls and Blueberry Crisp....also
I bought the book because I have eaten my way up the Maine coastline in search of the perfect lobster roll and...the wonderful blueberry desserts. I love Maine. How wonderful to read not only a cookbook but a book about growing up there.
