This important new series rediscovers the original heroes of
cookery. Reissuing texts that for decades have been available only
to collectors of old books, each title has been redesigned giving
the original text an updated yet timeless look for today's reader.
These classic voices convey the flavour of their times and yet are
astonishingly relevant to the modern reader. With two more titles
to follow in September, this series will establish itself as an
exciting new source of reference and inspiration for all food
lovers. First published in 1938, the original editor of Madame
Prunier's Fish Cookery Book, Ambrose Heath, described it as 'a
really thrilling book...that should take its place among the
classics of the kitchen'. This is certainly as true today as when
Madame Prunier first wrote her Advice on Buying fish and Elementary
Rules for Cooking Fish. Simple but wonderful recipes for Savoury
Butters and Sauces, Soups, Fresh-Water fish, Salt-Water Fish and
Shellfish include such delights as Crayfish Barquettes, Clam
Risotto, Devilled Herrings and Sole Souffle, fulfilling the
original ambition of the book to 'keep all the cooks in Britain
busy for some time'.
Simple food, well prepared, is one of life's great pleasures and
when friends and family are part of the equation, cooking and
sharing becomes all the more enjoyable. In a series that spans
everything from casual barbecues to the tagines of Morocco, from
nutritious ways with vegetables to the classic dishes of Italy, the
recipes capture the spirit of a cuisine and the spirit of an
occasion. There are feature spreads on specific ingredients and
techniques, step-by-step photos and suggestions for variations to
the recipes.
For the forager, the seashore holds surprising culinary potential.
In this authoritative, witty book John Wright takes us on a trip to
the seaside. But before introducing us to the various species to be
harvested, he touches on such practicalities as conservation and
the ethics of foraging; safety from tides, rocks and food
poisoning; the law and access to the shore, our right to fish,
landing sizes and seasons; and equipment such as nets, pots and
hooks.
Next comes the nitty-gritty: all the main British seashore species
that one might be tempted to eat. The conservation status, taste
and texture, availability, seasonality, habitat, collecting
technique and biology of each species is covered; there are also
quite a few gratuitous but fascinating diversions. The species
covered include crustacea (brown shrimp, common crab, lobster,
prawn, shore crab, spider crab, squat lobster, velvet swimming
crab); molluscs (clams, cockle, dog whelk, limpet, mussel, oyster,
razor clam, winkle); mushrooms; plants (alexanders, babbington's
orache, fennel, frosted orache, marsh samphire, perennial wall
rocket, rock samphire, sea beet, sea buckthorn, sea holly, sea
kale, sea purslane, sea rocket, spear-leaved orache, wild cabbage,
wild thyme); and seaweed (carragheen, dulse, gut weed, laver,
pepper dulse, sea lettuce, sugar kelp, kelp).
Finally, there are thirty brilliant recipes. Introduced by Hugh
Fearnley-Whittingstall, "Edible Seashore" is destined to join the
other handbooks in the series as an indispensable household
reference.
