"Rhode Islanders are incredibly lucky to have such stellar culinary resources––and such delicious food––in such a small state. We're born and bred foodies, and Linda Beaulieu is foremost among them. This collection brings together my favorite restaurants (and even some of my favorite dishes) from across the state. I can't wait to get home and start cooking."––Julie Tremaine, executive editor, Providence Monthly and So Rhode Island "With a Linda Beaulieu cookbook, you know the recipes are true and tested. The elegant dishes shared by Rhode Island chefs in this book are so special, home cooks will want to make them. And they can do that with confidence."––Gail Ciampa, food editor, Providence Journal "As an advocate and someone passionate about the Rhode Island food community, I am beyond thrilled to have Linda Beaulieu's Providence & Rhode Island Chef's Table on my cookbook shelf. It's a wonderful calling card to show how spectacular Rhode Island chefs and their cuisine can be. Thank you, Linda and Al, for this great book."––David Dadekian, EatDrinkRI.com
