Nantucket Culinary

While most people know Nantucket as a seasonal destination to see and be seen, the island we’ve always known – and come to love as our own – is a dynamic but intimate, year-round community with one foot in the past, and one in the future. You won’t find traffic lights or big box stores here, but you will find the kind of Main Street atmosphere that cities and towns everywhere are trying to replicate as part of their own renaissance story across ‘mainland’ America. You’ll also find an amazing blend of heritage and innovation, as the newest generation of island leaders reaffirm their commitment to stewardship and sustainability.

Today, Nantucket Culinary Center (NCC) is a campus of creativity – a literal beehive of activity where on any given day you’ll find a local fishmonger mixing it up with cooking school students in the demonstration kitchen, young entrepreneurs breaking bread and making plans down in the café, and a classroom kitchen that literally lights up the night for a block around us with laughter and joy (and the occasional unintended flare up over the stove).
