BookHampton welcomes author Silvia Lehrer

BookHampton welcomes author Silvia Lehrer to discuss and sign "Savoring the Hamptons: Discovering the Food and Wine of Long Island's East End."

The Hamptons possess an unmistakable and indisputable charm. The bounty of the farms and the character of each town in this string of villages have created a remarkable culinary culture among the sand dunes and lighthouses.

Savoring the Hamptons is a culinary celebration of this unique region. The book is divided by season to highlight the variety of elements and characteristically rugged charm of the Hamptons. The ensemble of more than 250 recipes is accompanied by stories and photographs of local wineries, farmers, fisherman, artisans, and restaurateurs to create a Hamptons mosaic. From Starr Boggs in Westhampton Beach and Mecox Bay Dairy in Bridgehampton to Wolfer Estates in Sagaonack and Quail Hill Organic Farm in Amagansett, this is the definitive cookbook of the Hamptons. There are more than 60 stunning full-color food photographs and scenery shots throughout.

Silvia Lehrer has studied cooking at the Cordon Bleu, La Varenne, and with such individual masters as Giuliano Bugialli, Simca Beck, Marcella Hazan, and James Beard. In 1976 she opened Cooktique, a cooking school hailed by the New York Times as "one of the best and most comprehensive schools in the nation." Her previous titles include Cooking at Cooktique. She lives in Water Mill, New York.
