Savoring the Hamptons
Discovering the Food and Wine of Long Island's East End
Summary
It's not that Silvia Lehrer dislikes the rich people who flock to the Hamptons every July and August. It's just that she prefers to celebrate those who have more blood and history invested in the land and sea on the East End of Long Island.
"The local farmers, the families, all of these people have committed to generations of working the farms." she says in this interview with New Books in Food.
I interviewed Silvia on the back patio of her house in Water Mill, New York. The conversation is like a gentle journey taken on a warm July morning, a pleasant tour through a fertile land where sea foam and tractors meet, where fishermen bring in a catch that potato farmers might eat for dinner.
Her new book, Savoring the Hamptons: Discovering the Food and Wine of Long Island's East End, contains recipes Silvia developed from decades of writing about the food people of the North and South forks of Long Island, and brief profiles of many of the salty and sweet characters there.
