This is the essential book about the cookery as well as zoology of
the fish and shellfish that inhabit the Mediterranean; now
published in more than a dozen languages and available in France,
Italy, Spain, Greece and many other home territories. It combines
natural history and cookery in a most enticing way, providing
information for the fisherman and seafood enthusiast as well as for
the cook. Its genesis was while the author was posted to the
British Embassy in Tunis, his wife needed an overview of the local
fish markets to plan her shopping. It was taken up with enthusiasm
by Elizabeth David and has been required reading ever since. The
book is split between a catalogue, with drawings and description of
each sort of fish, together with cookery notes and any information
that might put it in context; and a recipe section which draws on
the best methods of cooking these types of fish from the many
countries best acquainted with them. There is a full index and
bibliography. The writing is matchless: exact, yet humorous;
learned, yet light. It is one of the most inspirational cookery
books to have been written in the last fifty years.

Shrimp is easily America's favorite seafood, but its very
popularity is the wellspring of problems that threaten the shrimp
industry's existence. Asian-Cajun Fusion: Shrimp from the Bay to
the Bayou provides insightful analysis of this paradox and a
detailed, thorough history of the industry in Louisiana. Dried
shrimp technology was part of the cultural heritage Pearl River
Chinese immigrants introduced into the Americas in the
mid-nineteenth century. As early as 1870, Chinese natives built
shrimp-drying operations in Louisiana's wetlands and exported the
product to Asia through the port of San Francisco. This trade
internationalized the shrimp industry. About three years before
Louisiana's Chinese community began their export endeavors,
manufactured ice became available in New Orleans, and the Dunbar
family introduced patented canning technology. The convergence of
these ancient and modern technologies shaped the evolution of the
northern Gulf Coast's shrimp industry to the present. Coastal
Louisiana's historic connection to the Pacific Rim endures. Not
only does the region continue to export dried shrimp to Asian
markets domestically and internationally, but since 2000 the
region's large Vietnamese immigrant population has increasingly
dominated Louisiana's fresh shrimp harvest. Louisiana shrimp
constitute the American gold standard of raw seafood excellence.
Yet, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, cheap
imports are forcing the nation's domestic shrimp industry to
rediscover its economic roots. "Fresh off the boat" signs and
real-time internet connections with active trawlers are
reestablishing the industry's ties to local consumers. Direct
marketing has opened the industry to middle-class customers who
meet the boats at the docks. This "right off the boat" paradigm
appears to be leading the way to reestablishment of sustainable
aquatic resources. All-one-can-eat shrimp buffets are not going to
disappear, but the Louisiana shrimp industry's fate will ultimately
be determined by discerning consumers' palates.

Foreword by Jean-Christophe Novelli. Fish is high in protein, low
in fat - and rich in nutrients. So it is a food we should be eating
more of, and including regularly in our meals. The recipes in this
book are approachable, flexible and un-complicated, advising on
buying, preparation, and freezing as well as cooking. Also included
are fish varieties that are often cheaper and less under threat
than the most popular fish but offer a delicious alternative, such
as pollock, sardines, coley and herring. Contents: Contents; Notes
and Conversion Charts; Foreword; Introduction; 1. Soups and
Starters; 2. Brunches and Snacks; 3. Cold Lunches and Suppers; 4.
Hot Lunches and Suppers; 5. Fish on the Barbecue; 6. Special
Occasion Dishes; 7. Accompaniments; Index.
'Bobby's oyster travelogue is an ambitious, one-of-a-kind piece
that shines a spotlight on the extraordinary and the everyday of
the industry. It's the stuff that oyster bucket lists are made of'
Julie Qiu, In A Half Shell blog 'A masterpiece' Sandy Ingber,
Executive Chef of the Grand Central Oyster Bar, New York 'An
amazing tome . . . The stories behind each oyster and location are
informative, in depth, but, most importantly, fun' Michel Roux Jr
The oyster. Ostrea edulis. 'Edible bones'. The Great British oyster
is deeply embedded in our geographical, historical and
socio-cultural landscape. Five-thousand-year-old oyster shells have
been discovered in the northern reaches of Scotland, and oyster
shells are littered along the extinct riverbeds deep beneath the
London of today. A highly prized delicacy of the Romans, the oyster
has always been a class leveller: an everyman food of the poor
during the Victorian age to a food of decadence during the
twentieth century. It is a superfood; a biological water meter; an
ecological superpower. The oyster card, 'the world is your oyster'
- it has even crept into our language. Bobby Groves, Head of
Oysters at the Chiltern Firehouse, takes us on a wonderful journey
of the British oyster, a five-thousand-mile motorcycle odyssey of
Britain's spectacular coastlines. He vividly brings to life this
strange and marvellous creature, shining a light on its rich and
vibrant history, its cultural impact and ecological importance as
well as those oyster folk who work so hard to protect them. Part
travelogue, part social history, Oyster Isles is a celebration of
the much-loved yet much-misunderstood British oyster.

equipment and gizmos. It's entirely about flavours and
understanding. Food in its entirety is more than about filling your
stomach; it's about stories, history, and those shared moments." -
Hasan Semay Grounded and honest (and a little bit sweary), Hasan
Semay (a.ka. Big Has) is a bright and talented North-London based
chef and YouTube presenter. Having dropped out of school and tried
his hand at odd jobs from plumbing to security, Has was accepted
onto the prestigious Jamie Oliver "15" programme in 2011 which
unearthed a true passion and flair for cooking. HOME is his debut
cookbook and a celebration of the dishes, the places and the people
that have made him who he is today. Fans of Hasan's Instagram page
and enormously popular YouTube series 'Sunday Sessions' will
recognise his ability to make incredible restaurant-quality food
available to the masses, teaching his viewers how to appreciate
ingredients and understand cooking not through dull step-by-step
methods but by connecting more intuitively with the process. In
this debut cookbook, Has takes those principles to the next level
talking you through the stages of lighting a BBQ and how to prepare
a variety of dishes from small plates to Turkish Cypriot classics
as well as meat and fish straight off the grill. His food is
beautiful and robust with familiar Mediterranean influences from
his Cypriot heritage as well as from his time working in
professional kitchens across London - think grilled butter-milk
chicken thighs with chermoula, flame-licked steak and salsa verde,
marinated lamb chops with salsa rossa, all countered by neat folds
of glistening home-made pasta and the occasional jaw-dropping
dessert. Now don't think this means flashy, fiddly food - this is
real food, treated with respect and cooked right - no tablecloths
or fancy china, just your friends, round the BBQ proper Sunday
session style, because food is a celebration of coming together.
Peppered with anecdotes about working in professional kitchens and
the characters and inspiration behind his food, HOME is a
refreshing and accessible cookbook from a uniquely bold chef.
