The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook

The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook by Elaine Sullivan and Joseph Hall is the first official cookbook from the beloved Black Dog Tavern in Vineyard Haven, capturing the relaxed, seafood-filled spirit of summertime on Martha’s Vineyard. Featuring more than 100 recipes drawn from the restaurant’s popular summer menu, the book celebrates classic New England coastal cooking with dishes such as Quahog Chowder, Banana-Blueberry Pancakes, hearty omelets, fresh seafood, and casual beachside fare. Recipes are accompanied by island stories and traditions that evoke the distinctive character of the Vineyard and the restaurant that became one of its most recognizable landmarks. Originally published in 2000, the 224-page cookbook includes 75 color photographs and 25 illustrations, making The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook both a practical collection of approachable recipes and a nostalgic celebration of summer, food, and life by the sea.
