New Haven is arguably the restaurant capital of
Connecticut, with food lovers regularly making the trek
to taste the latest and greatest the city has to offer.
From the legendary pizzerias of Wooster Street to the hip
Ibiza, New Haven's restaurants, some of which are
nationally renowned, reflect the best of the city -
international yet down to earth, sophisticated yet
unpretentious. New Haven Chef's Table is the first
cookbook to gather the depth and breadth of New Haven's
food offerings in one place, with the net proceeds to
benefit The Connecticut Mental Health Centre Foundation
(cmhcfoundation.org). Profiling more than thirty-five of
the city's top chefs, who each offer two favourite
recipes reworked for the home cook, the book is also a
celebration of the growing sustainable food
movement, with a focus on food connections with local
growers, farmers, and organizations.
