Ah, the warmth of Summer in New England—a time when the air carries the scent of adventure and the promise of culinary delights. As the executive publisher of the GreenPrints Garden Club, I find myself enveloped in the joy and gratitude that this season brings. It’s a time when our gardens burst with life, offering up their bounty for us to savor and share with loved ones.

In the spirit of celebration and the joyous gatherings that define New England Summers, I am thrilled to present to you a collection of recipes that embody the essence of this special time. Each dish is a labor of love, crafted with care and inspired by the flavors of the region. From the quest for the perfect lobster roll to the unexpected discovery of cranberry walnut slaw, these recipes invite you to embark on a culinary journey that celebrates the richness of our land and the traditions that make New England so unique.

So, dear friends, as you gather with loved ones to enjoy the long days and starlit nights of Summer, may these recipes add an extra dash of flavor and joy to your celebrations. Here’s to the magic of New England, the abundance of our gardens, and the simple pleasures of good food shared with great company.
