CRU continues to thrive and grow larger than we ever imagined because of the unwavering support of our friends and family. They encourage us year after year. We are so happy to be able to share this book with our guests, whose loyalty helped create the experience CRU is today.
Thank you to our prestigious publisher, St. Martin’s Press, and to senior editor BJ Berti and executive editor Elizabeth Beier, Macmillan executive vice president Steve Cohen, and editor in chief George Witte for believing in CRU and the stories we wanted to share.
Many thanks to our literary agent, Alan Morell, who has been a longtime advocate and patron. He guided us from day one to make this dream a reality. He allowed us to focus on highlighting the many facets of CRU while he focused on the business side of this project.
This project really found its wings with our coauthor and highly acclaimed writer, Martha W. Murphy, who worked tirelessly to capture the essence of four seasons of CRU.
Thank you to our CRU crew, who bring their passion and enthusiasm every day to make CRU the success it is today. We would not be the destination we are without their love and hard work.
It has been amazing to work with Wayne Chinnock for these gorgeous photographs of CRU cuisine. His drive to capture all that we love about our little island thirty miles out to sea was invaluable.
We have been so fortunate to partner with our incredibly talented purveyors of pristine seafood, growers of gorgeous produce, and the makers of our most celebrated wines.
Lastly, this amazing Nantucket island community has embraced us with open arms from day one. We are so proud to call Nantucket our home.
