The essential fish cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This book is organized alphabetically; to give a sense of its scope it begins:aalmutter, abalone, akule, Alaska pollock, alga, anchovy, Artic char, ark shell, aspic (not a fish but useful for fish recipes), Atka mackerel, barnacle, barracuda ... in short, you'll be hard pressed to find in your fish market something not covered here.

For each fish, the book gives information regarding their looks (there are ample photos), where they grow, their culinary uses ... and for many of the fish, recipes. To take a simple example, for black sea bass it gives recipes for steamed sea bass, sea bass Lisbon style, and sea bass chowder.

The recipes are reliable - easy to follow and well proportioned. This is everything you'll ever need or want in a fish cooking resource.

This is the best source for fish info, a must an any kitchen 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Easy to use, accurate basic knowledge on the origin, taste, texture, and even good suggestions for prepareing almost any fish under the water!

More than a cook book 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

A plethora of information about hundreds of species of fish- How they are classed and where they inhabit, historical and cultural importance of many fishes, identification of fish, quality of meat and how to cook them. Incredibly interesting and useful!

Editorial Review:

Most men between the ages of 18 and 26 are cuisine-challenged. When it's time for a meal, they are often faced with frozen macaroni and cheese, a packet of ramen noodles, or the phone to order take-out. Not only is this not healthy, it doesn't impress girls and it's a waste of money. And, as self-taught chef Kevin Telles Roberts can tell you, it is so unnecessary.

Now the man who has cooked for extreme sports athletes and the coolest television stars gives us Munchies--the hip, edgy, no-fear cookbook for young adults who think their kitchen is just a large room to store the refrigerator in.

With more than 100 foolproof recipes created for even the most inexperienced cook, Roberts cooks the food you love with minimal damage and maximum impact. Nuclear Wings, Garlic Fries, and Killer Shark Tacos that will leave you party guests gasping. Quick Quesadillas for solo late-night snacks. Tater-Tot Hash and Roman Toast--the new breakfast for champions. Munchies has recipes for veggies and fish as well. Pistachio-Crusted Halibut for when you suddenly need to impress a dinner date. Beer-Soaked Steak or Ponzu Chicken for when you want to fire up the grill, as well as great summer side salads to accompany your meal. Finally, there are recipes for desserts such as Peanut Butter Cookies or Baked Cinnamon Apples that you can make even if you've never turned on your oven. Munchies will show you how to cook the food that you want to eat.

Lost in a fast-food, cold leftovers, breakfast-bar wilderness? From your college dorm to the smallest apartment with no dishwaser, Munchies will transform your cooking with confidence and creativity. Hip, funny, and totally accessible, Roberts cooks like the rest of us and makes it taste good.

So click "Eating In" into your shopping cart today...then invite someone verrrry special over for dinner.

Because now you can look like Paul Newman in the kitchen.

Even if you cook like Alfred E.

Super- a busy mother's secret. 5 out of 5 stars.
21 of 21 people found this review helpful.

This book is excellent. It provides easy to follow recipes using canned ingredients that turn out great. The recipes require simple easy to find ingredients. It saves time cooking and yet the meals are delicious and full of nutrients. There is not one meal I have cooked out of here that my kids have not enjoyed or my husband not liked.

I have actually put together a box of meals on the go- that is meals that can be done at the last minute and cooked by my husband or older children. They all come from this book.


Well worth the money.
Enjoy.

saves room in your fridge! 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

My husband and I received this book for our wedding, and 4 years later we still love it. All our other books yielded 4 servings in most recipes, and we would end up with piles of tupperware containers in the fridge holding leftovers that inevitably went bad. We have tried all of the entree recipes in the book and love them. There are also a lot of recipes for soups, salads, and even some sandwiches food that is easily portable. My husband is the cook in our house- I rarely cook, and am very much a beginner, but all of these recipes were simple enough for me. Yes, there is a lot of chicken, but I don't know too many people who don't like chicken! And yes, there are a lot of vegetables too- but you're gonna be looking a long time for a recipe book without chicken or vegetables. If we didn't want to eat chicken or vegetables, we'd go to McDonalds.
