The Coastal Palette ANNUAL Cookbook: Tastes of Tides

Where food, art, and coastal living meet, The Coastal Palette Cookbook brings the spirit of Jekyll Island’s Food, Wine & Arts Festival to life on every page. Published each year by SEAJekyll, this elegant, limited-edition cookbook captures the creativity and community of the Golden Isles through curated recipes, chef features, and stunning coastal photography — all while supporting arts education and enrichment across the region.

Each annual volume of The Coastal Palette Cookbook serves as both a culinary keepsake and a fundraising work of art. Inside its pages, readers will find signature dishes and wine pairings from festival chefs, as well as treasured recipes from beloved local restaurants and home kitchens. From shrimp and grits kissed with sea salt to low-country boils under the stars, from decadent desserts to sunset cocktails, every recipe tells a story of the coast — its flavors, its people, and its sense of place.
