Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Rick Stein, British TV seafood cooking instructor and seafood restaurant owner, wasn't able to get every recipe he loves into his first book, Taste of the Sea. So he wrote Fruits of the Sea. Where Taste of the Sea was a kind of introduction to seafood cooking for those a bit hesitant about trying different kinds of fish, Fruits of the Sea is more like Stein's launching pad. He assumes he is preaching to an enthusiastic choir. Much of his information is right to the point, and his style of instruction is more refined. All the techniques for prepping different kinds of fish are described in clear language as well as illustrated in detailed photos. Included, too, is a discussion of many of the unusual ingredients Stein pulls into his recipes for that extra dash of brilliant flavour--preserved lemons, for example, or kaffir lime leaves. It comes as little surprise, then, that Stein opens with recipes like Basque Squid Stew, Moroccan Fish Tagine, Seafood in a Crab and Ginger Broth, and Mussels with Turmeric, Cumin, and Coriander. He breaks his recipes into soup, stews, and clear broths; light lunch dishes; hot and spicy fish; deep-fried fish; summer fish and salads; fish from colder climates; elegant fish dishes; quick and simple fish; hand-held and party food; and food to finish with. As in the first book, you'll also find basic stocks and sauces and a list of alternative fish for the American and Australian markets. The user-friendly Fruits of the Sea will launch anyone, even a reader who may have been a bit reluctant to take the plunge, on a discovery of seafood. --Schuyler Ingle Customer Reviews

 Rating: - An inspiring bookIf I could have only one fish cookery book, it would be this one. There are some superb recipes that really work. I feel immensely grateful to Rick Stein for inspiring me to cook many more exciting and unusual fish dishes. Rating: - Simply cooked fish from a down-to-earth cook!'In 1995, Rick Stein brought the taste of fish into thousands of British homes with his ground-breaking TV series and best-selling book, 'Taste of the Sea'. Reluctant fish-eaters were won over by the simple flavours and no-fuss approach of Rick's cooking, and by the sheer enthusiasm of this charismatic cook. 'Fruits of the Sea' contains over 100 fabulous new fish recipes to cater for all occasions and palates. As well as contemporary recipes, Rick has created some hot and spicy dishes inspired by his travels in Asia and Australia. To encourage us to include more fish in our diet, but realising that most cooks are busy people, Rick provides a range of recipes that can be prepared in half an hour. ... Read More: Rating: - A superb introduction to seafoodI have to admit it, I love Rick Stein ... purely platonically, you understand. He presents some of the most distinctive and thoroughly enjoyable cookery programmes on British television. I love seafood ... purely gastronomically, you understand. As a Scot it would be a treasonable offence to suggest that I did not. And Stein brings to the cooking of seafood a cerebral, acerbic, yet almost visceral passion which is more infectious than a hospital superbug and which inspires you to venture into new experiences and new flavours. Fortunately, I have an excellent fishmonger in the centre of town. That helps a lot. There are few areas in the British Isles which are more than a few miles distant from the seashore (or loch, lough, lake, ... Read More: Rating: - EssentialI have used this book so many times that the pages have become completely covered with stray ingredients, and I am thinking of boiling it up to make a nice stock. Rating:  - Mouth watering seafood recipesOh my! If I had access to fresh seafood, I wouldn't mind trying many of the recipes. I read this book like a novel, front to back!! I did manage to try a few simple recipes, like the salt and pepper prawns. Maybe not as many photos of the recipes as I would have liked, but the ones pictured were superb. A constant reference, and gives a good guide for preparing seafood in the beginning. |
