Fish
& Shellfish by James Peterson
Editorial
Reviews:
From Publishers Weekly:
Peterson (Sauces and Splendid Soups) has compiled a comprehensive,
deftly organized guide to the preparation of seafood. The volume's
four easily cross-referenced parts begin with cooking techniques
and recipes in "Finfish" and "Shellfish." "Seafood in Other Guises"
contains recipes for salads, soups, stews and such dishes as Ricotta
and Sage Agnolini in Tomato Shrimp Broth and Salmon and Smoked Salmon
Mousse Napoleons. "Finfish Dictionary" includes tips for identifying
and cooking more than 200 species. The impressive range of Peterson's
150-plus recipes moves from the simple (Baked Mackerel with Mustard
and Bread Crumbs) to the more challenging (Curry-Flavored Monkfish
Croquettes with Pear Chutney) and includes the unusual (Arctic Char
Baked in Salt; Indian-Style Sweet-and-Hot Seafood Chowder with Coconut
Milk). Sidebars and boxes include tips for such things as taking
the meat from lobster shells and buying scallops or seasoned vinegar
for sushi. Charts for traditional ethnic dishes offer at-a-glance
guides to ingredients, flavors, enrichers and garnishes. Peterson's
authoritative, informal prose style blends well with the book's
organization to make this volume a reference sure to please amateur
and professional cooks. Also included are a glossary, source list
and color photos.
