Presented with six cookbooks from six different authors, Lola’s executive chef Frank Bokuniewicz created a summery five course meal for the third annual Cook the Vineyard, an event that celebrates Island food and cookbook authors.

Island food enthusiasts milled about Lola’s on Monday snacking on pan-roasted lobster crostini from Chris Fischer’s The Beetlebung Farm Cookbook and sipping Martha’s Vineyard Distilling Company vodka tonics filled with floating fresh fruit. They purchased cookbooks from a table staffed by Bunch of Grapes (the big seller of the day was Fresh Fish by Jennifer Trainer Thompson) and ended the meal with chocolate drizzled macaroons.

During lunch, host and lifestyle personality Sissy Biggers chatted with the authors about their dishes, their books and their kitchen secrets.
