5.0 out of 5 stars the good life, December 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Provincetown Seafood Cookbook (Paperback)
it's been said that art is making difficult things seem simple, that anyone can do the reverse. well, if that statement appeals to you, this is your book. when i first encountered this book, i read it like a novel, devouring the stories, oblivious to the recipes. it was only later that i tried to cook the way mitch did. as a seafood cookbook this is unparalleled. i've made many pots of chowder; none has been as good as the ones mitch led me through. and where else can one find a chef to sing the praises of the humble squid? it's a great cookbook, but it's so much more than that... it's a guide on how to enjoy seafood, whether or not you live near the sea, and how to enjoy life. i don't live as hard by the ocean as i once did, but never in my life have i felt closer to the sea than i did while reading this book. i've never even been to cape cod, but nevertheless this book has meant an awful lot to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Provincetown Seafood, February 9, 2000
This review is from: Provincetown Seafood Cookbook (Paperback)
This is my favorite seafood cookbook of all time. The recipes are generally traditional dishes brought over to New England from Portugal. If you have access to good Atlantic stocks, like Maine shrimp, cod, squid, mackerel, and clams, this is a must have. The elegance of this book is its simplicity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impossible to find, and best seafood cookbook ever, October 11, 2003
By 
C. Cutler (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ever since Anthony Bourdain (author of 'Kitchen Confidential', 'A Cook's Tour' and a celebrity chef on Food TV Network) declared this the 'best seafood cookbook in history' in one of his best-selling books, it's been impossible to find this out-of-print book anywhere. Too bad, as it really is quite spectacular. The Portuguese-influenced recipes from Cape Cod in this cookbook are simple and delicious, stressing quality ingredients throughout. If you've ever been to Cape Cod, you'll find the local anecdotes pretty cool too. If you can manage to find one I highly recommend it!
