October 15, 2014 The New England Kitchen Cookbook Launch at Island Creek Oyster Bar
Last week I attended a cookbook launch party at Island Creek Oyster Bar. Jeremy Sewall has an impressive resume. He was nominated as a rising star chef by the James Beard Foundation, he opened Great Bay in 2003, opened his own restaurant, Lineage in Brookline, in 2006, collaborated on Eastern Standard in 2009, opened Island Creek Oyster Bar in 2010 and opened Row 34 in 2013.
In Sewall’s new cookbook with partner Erin Byers Murray, they explore contemporary versions of New England Classics. Guests gathered for a book signing and light bites.
While the raw bar and passed appetizers were delicious, these cider donuts stole the show for me. They came out from the kitchen warm and the glaze just melted in your mouth. I may have had two!
The photos, taken by Michael Harlan Turkell, in the book are beautiful.
Bites for the evening included lobster tacos and a toast topped with mushrooms, Parmesan cheese and truffle oil.
The raw bar boasted colossal shrimp.
They were shucking oysters all night long.
Island Creek Oyster Bar is open for dinner Monday – Thursday 4pm-11pm, Friday-Saturday 4pm-11:30pm and Sunday 10:30am-11pm.
