If, like me, you have fond nostalgic memories of visiting Seattle's Pike's Place Market, or if you just happen to like good seafood, this little book will be a welcome addition to your cookbook library. Filled with over 50 recipes for fish and shellfish from the chefs, restaurantuers and fish mongers who make up the market community, a tourist destination for folks from all over the world and a seafood lover's nirvana.
Author Braiden Rex-Johnson, who also serves as Seattle Homes and Lifestyles magazine's food editor, knows her subject well and injects the cookbook with the spirit of the market through wonderful narratives, fun facts about seafood and the market, and the history of this legendary place. Memory invoking photos complete this loving culinary portrait.
In addition, the author provides important information on sustainable fisheries and preservation of our ocean's eco-systems. You'll learn a wealth of seafood information beyond just recipes, including how to save money on seafood while protecting our environment, plus cooking techniques and wine pairing recommendations. All in all Rex-Johnson packs an extraordinary amount fo information into a small book.
