A Taste of the Hamptons

As spring ebbs and summer approaches, thoughts increasingly turn toward blissful warm-weather locales. You can capture this essence in culinary form with these selections from Ricky Lauren’s cookbook The Hamptons: Food, Family, and History, both of which are inspired by the author’s beloved beachside memories.

A hearty breakfast classic with custardy challah, warm cinnamon, and a crown of fresh summer berries.

This sweet, simple bake enhances the season’s first berries with a buttery oat topping and bright lemony zest.
