Joni Brosnan[1], the owner of Joni’s in Montauk[2], has published her first cookbook, Joni’s, A Love Letter to Summer in Montauk[3] (Hound Publishing). This nontraditional cookbook straddles the genres of photographic memoir and culinary souvenir, offering an intimate look at Montauk[4] life through her stories, family photos and healthy recipes. The visuals capture the aromas, tastes, sounds and fuzzy feelings of Joni’s, the surf lifestyle and summers in Montauk[5]. The laid-back beachside café beloved by Chris Martin, Julianne Moore[6] and other regulars has been around since 2001. Today, you’re still greeted with the same seaside vibe. Cyan blue hues, retro Hawaiian art, fresh flowers and vintage photos fill the sunny space. Joni’s menu has long catered to gluten-free diets, vegetarians and vegans, and has been keeping people satiated for almost 25 years.
