A Kitchen on Goose Cove: Recipes from the Heart of Maine by Devin Finigan

At the Deer Isle restaurant Aragosta, guests experience Maine in its distilled form: plates of pristine seafood, seasonal fruits, homemade pasta, and fresh vegetables served with a view of sea and islands, spruce and pine. Chef-owner Finigan's first cookbook captures the special feel of this place with such recipes as Duck Breast with Peach Sauce, Mussel chowder, Whoopie Pies and her signature lobster pasta. —Amy Traverso, Yankee senior food editor

A love letter of a cookbook that captures the allure of Maine and its iconic food and bounty of ingredients, from Devin Finigan, chef-owner of Aragosta, named one of Food + Wine’s best restaurants in 2024 and 2025.

There is an allure to Maine that captures the imagination of so many: it’s a longing for a simpler pace of life, it’s the idyllic small towns, village greens, seaside vistas, and an endless coastline. With Maine’s pristine seafood and seasonal fruits, produce, and grains, Maine is also a magical place to cook. From a kitchen on a rugged coastline in Deer Isle, Maine, chef Devin Finigan uses Maine’s iconic ingredients—from lobster and clams to honey and fiddleheads—to make incredible meals. Her Lobster Rolls, Scallops with Wild Ramp Sauce, Mussel Chowder, Duck Breast with Peach Sauce, Tomato Galette, and Whoopie Pies draw thousands of visitors each year who book tables months in advance to dine at her restaurant Aragosta, which was named the #2 best restaurant in the U.S. by Food & Wine. Finigan’s first book captures everything about Maine that makes it the destination that 37 million people choose to visit each year. With 75 recipes for classic Maine dishes and new spins on old favorites, plus 100 gorgeous photos, this will be the Maine cookbook to transport fans, foodies, and tourists alike to this unspoiled region.
