Modern Country Cooking: Kitchen Skills and Seasonal Recipes from Salt Water Farm

Go back to the basics in the kitchen and rediscover the joy of cooking with simple tools and fresh local and seasonal ingredients. A complete guide to the essentials of home cooking from the popular cooking school at Maine’s Salt Water Farm. Good cooking has nothing to do with fancy equipment, complicated recipes, or trendy, hard-to-find ingredients. The fundamentals are really quite simple: it’s about instinct, technique, and freshness. Annemarie Ahearn, dubbed by Food & Wine Magazine as someone “changing the way America eats,” believes that developing these essential skills can lead to a greater sense of confidence and fulfillment in the kitchen. Her credo: 1) Grow at least some of your own food to establish a deeper connection with the earth that provides your nutrition, 2) Be familiar with a range of cooking techniques so you can develop flexibility and intuition in the kitchen, and 3) Master the age-old cooking skills that will serve you your whole lifetime–cooking in cast iron, sharpening knives, and using a mortar and pestle. With these classic skills under your belt, and with 75 tried-and-true seasonal recipes, you’ll be on your way to putting consistently delicious, satisfying meals on the table every day while you learn to fall in love with the process.

“Annemarie has distilled so much of what I love about Salt Water Farm in each page, recipe, and story in this book. Her cooking is soulful, honest, insanely delicious, and if I could, I’d move to Maine to be closer to it. Meanwhile, I’ve got this book.” —Alison Roman, author of Dining In

Full Moon Suppers at Salt Water Farm

My first ever cookbook, entitled “Full Moon Suppers at Salt Water Farm” is now available. You can pick up a copy at your local bookshop, online or a signed copy at the cooking school.

This menu-driven cookbook offers twelve beautifully crafted meals derived from more than one hundred evening events at Salt Water Farm. The book allows you to re-create our dinners at home, beneath a full moon-or any night-for family and friends.

Each supper includes a portrait of the month: its climate, its rewards, and its ritual kitchen tasks-and a menu inspired by those characteristics. A Full Moon Supper is not only a celebration of the earth and its bounty but a reward for the hard work that goes into food production. These meals pay respect to the elements, the conditions of the earth, soil, and sea, and seasonal traditions as we round the lunar cycle.
