mon amie is a series of introductions to the most influential people in my life. Author Craig Moodie turned his childhood memories of sailing the waters off Cape Cod and the Islands into a colorful saga of sea-themed short stories. For years, Moodie worked as a deck hand on local commercial fishing vessels, entranced by the mysteries of the sea.

Read MoreAMIE is a small, specialty bakery that likes to think of itself as our town’s kitchen. The only thing we enjoy more than baking for our neighbors is spending time with them. We make everything from scratch and in small batches, using local ingredients from artisans who, like us, are passionate about what they do. From traditional pastries and classic breakfast and lunch items to our ever-changing selection of latest dessert trends—we serve up food people love, in a place no one wants to leave.
We believe that taste is an emotion, good food is essential, and an oven can warm a community. When we’e not baking in the kitchen, we’re teaching recreational cooking and baking classes in our AMIE Academie classroom.
