I am a seafood lover and it's wonderful to have this selection of recipes. It includes a wide variety seafoods and shellfish and is organized by length of time to prepare. It is packed with great tips on everything from stocking your pantry, to storage and tips on preparing specific kinds of seafood. There are meal planning suggestions and a sample meals chart. This book will get used frequently in my kitchen.

I love this cookbook. The recipies are scrumptous, different and easy. The use of fresh ingredients such as freshly grated ginger and garlic bring aromas to the kitchen that make me melt. A very good book that I have shared with all my friends and family. Highly recommended.

Any cookbook that can enable me to make a delicious bouillabaisse in 45 minutes is a real winner! Simple and easy instructions with ingredients and alternatives makes this book a life saver when you have to come up with a special meal in a hurry. The beautiful color photos also help in the presentation of your meal. Each recipe is broken down to three steps - this makes preparation efficient and simple. Almost all recipes take thirty minutes or less and the book includes most of the fish you commonly find in grocery stores. Perfect gift for a young Chef to be!
