This enjoyable introduction to some of the world's greatest foods reveals the essential secrets for success in buying and cooking delicious, nutritious seafood. Designed for the average cook in any household - from mothers and dads to bachelors to inspired teenage chefs - it is based on popular, readily available sea food found in most neighbourhood supermarkets. Recipes include 200 seafood preparations, ranging from basic grilling, frying, and baking to gourmet regional and international favourites. Although seafood is a popular item in restaurants, Americans eat very little of it at home. The reason: lack of confidence - most of us don't know the basic secrets of buying and preparing delicious fish or shellfish. Michael Bavota's book will bring seafood - and smiles - back to American dinner tables. An important feature of Bavota's book is the complete set of guidelines on buying fresh or frozen seafood - hints, facts, and cautions you're not likely to find anywhere else. The author also supplies information on the health impact of eating seafood, as well as entertaining lore on popular types of fish and shellfish used in the recipes. After you mastered Bavota's simple, reliable methods, you'll be able to pick up any cookbook and handle all kinds of seafood recipes with confidence.
I began writing when I was 10 years old. Over the past 30 years I have published more than 300 stories and articles for national trade magazines, main stream magazines and newspapers. My first book Seafood Lover's Bible was intended for the home cook who just wanted to learn how to prepare good seafood in the home--check it out, I know you will love it.
My first novel was Spirit of the Everglades which is a love story, but involving characters that you would least expect and fall in love with page after page. My dream is to see this story on the big screen one day. My third novel is a clloection of short stories which I wrote over the years. These are stories for the entire family.
