As brash and aggressive as the local cooking can be, Provincetown cuisine is a mild understatement of history and the current ethos of the place. It is a reconciliation of opposites, an affirmation of life, a chance to be alive and totally present to all of this bite, by bite. Thank God for this book. I've been wanting it for nearly 20 years. In a way you never leave Provincetown because Provincetown is not so much as place as it is a state of mind.
Local recipes are self-help.
When you taste Provincetown, you experience the possibility of life beyond normally accepted boundaries. At least for dinner.
