4.0 out of 5 stars Very Practical!, May 14, 2002

A very good book to keep around for places without refrigeration (i.e. camping, or expedition settings) or for someone single who is not likely to cook often and therefore needs to keep nonspoiling can goods around. The recipes are flexible. I made the curry salmon loaf and it was excellent in spite of not having all of the ingredients, substituting celery for parsnips (who, in the midwest, keeps parsnips around). I also subbed other canned goods for fresh, like canned diced tomatoes.
It was great!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've always been a fan of canned fish (sardines, anchovies, salmon, smoked oysters, tuna etc.) This book adds to my culinary enjoyment, by offering some tasty alternatives, to the age old stand-by recipes. Let's not forget the health benefits of eating seafood; many contain omega3 and are a great source of low fat protein.

I am not much of a cook, but my husband and I eat a lot of smoked oysters and tinned sardines, so instead of just eating the fish out of the tin as usual, I thought I'd give this book a try. The recipes I've tried have worked out very well, even for a mediocre cook like myself. The salmon & corn fritters came out like they were supposed to -- crispy outside, soft and hot inside. The oyster & artichoke stew was delicious; we had it with whole-grain bread on the side as recommended, but I served it over steamed mixed greens to great effect. This is a good book for people who like the health benefits of fish and keep canned fish on hand but maybe have gotten a little bored and want to try something new.
