story told in this book and I suggest that you go right ahead and buy a copy

Islanders who now live “away.” People who visit our shores will also “eat it
up," according to reviewer Stacy Dermont, Dan's Papers. She added: The Hamptons Homegrown Cookbook is sure to be the go-to gift of the season. No doubt it will appear beneath Christmas trees and Chanukah bushes."
