Boston's well-known "mysterious" food critic has honed his compendium of restaurant knowledge into his selection of the Boston area's best restaurants. The Phantom lists his favorite eight (also known as the "Great Ate") restaurants in 60 categories from comfort food and fried clams to Chinese and Italian. There are also lists devoted to neighborhoods and regions, from the North End to the North Shore. The nearly 500 restaurant reviews are also catalogued in alphabetical, geographical, and cuisine indexes for easy reference. Unlike the competition, this book has a voice and exhibits the well-respected local expertise of the Phantom Gourmet himself. Moreover, rather than list every restaurant under the sun, the Phantom selects the places he feels are worthwhile and explains why, giving restaurant-goers more guidance when they're looking for a place to eat.

Before the 1820s, the vast majority of Americans ate only at home. As the nation began to urbanise and industrialise, home and work became increasingly divided, resulting in new forms of commercial dining. Here, Kelly Erby explores the evolution of such eating alternatives in Boston during the 19th century.

A James Beard award–winning chef has “mastered her art, and the results are evident in this gorgeous, mouth-watering book” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Although Barbara Lynch was born and raised in South Boston, not Tuscany, many critics believe her food rivals the best of Italy. It has been praised by Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and Gourmet, and many more. Lynch’s cuisine is all the more remarkable because it is self-taught. She grew up in the turbulent projects of “Southie,” where petty crime was the only viable way to make a living. But in a home ec class in high school, she discovered her passion. Through a mix of hunger for knowledge, hard work, and raw smarts, she gradually created her own distinctive style of cooking, mining Italian and French classics for ideas and seasoning them with imagination. The 150 recipes in Stir combine sophistication with practicality. Appetizers like baked tomatoes and cheese and crisp, buttery brioche pizzas. Dozens of the artful pastas Lynch is famous for, such as little lasagnas with chicken meatballs, and potato gnocchi with peas and mushrooms. Lobster rolls with aïoli. Chicken wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with melting Italian cheese. Creamy vanilla bread pudding with caramel sauce. Accompanied by Lynch’s forthright opinions and stunning four-color photographs, these dishes will create a stir on home tables. “Well worth the wait” —Tom Colicchio, James Beard Award winning chef, co-founder of The Gramercy Tavern and founder of Crafted Hospitality “Distinctive dishes, generous spirit, and a genuine cook are all bound up in this wonderful book.” —Michael Ruhlman, New York Times–bestselling author of Ratio

Where Hash Rules is the story of Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe, a cultural landmark in Boston since 1927, with tales and photographs about the many interesting characters who have enjoyed turkey hash and eggs through the years. Named an "American Classic" by the James Beard Foundation in 2005, the diner has evolved to be as much a part of local folklore as the tea party.
