Presenting Cape Cod LIFE’s second annual ‘Best of’ recipe section

Clockwise, from left: cranberry, apricot & ginger scones with an orange glaze; red onion jam; spring salad with tomato cucumber vinaigrette; and oysters Rockefeller

 

For this, our second annual “Best of” recipe section, we solicited original recipes from a variety of local restaurants, bakeries, B&Bs, and hotels that Cape Cod LIFE readers over the years have designated as “the best” in our annual Best of the Cape & Islands Readers’ Choice contest.

The submissions did not disappoint. From drunken noodles and verde chicken enchiladas to cranberry, apricot and ginger scones and Amish cocoa squares, this collection of 44 recipes represents an impressive diversity of cuisine—as well as tasty treats to enjoy morning, noon, and night. In total, 22 of these recipes were published in the April 2017 issue of Cape Cod LIFE, and all 44 of them are published in this special online section.

Dream about them, try them, and enjoy. And from everyone at Cape Cod LIFE, bon appetit!
