Tasty Selections from Martha’s Vineyard

When summer’s high sun and warm air return, fresh ingredients often do the heavy culinary lifting. This duo of recipes from The Martha’s Vineyard Cookbook celebrates the best of the season—juicy, sun-ripened produce and bright, coastal flavors that taste like vacation. Start light and refreshing with a chilled gazpacho, then take your taste buds seaside with a swordfish dish featuring a unique topping. Both offer simple yet stunning ways to let the season’s bounty steal the show.

Enjoy ripe fruits and aromatic veggies in a delicious soup concoction that’s perfect for summer.

Nothing says New England like this vibrant coastal entrée featuring fresh, buttery fish.
