3.0 out of 5 stars Loaded with errors!, November 24, 2007

By	GMO "Home chef" (NH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mccormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant Cookbook (Hardcover)

I bought this book after having visited several McCormick & Scmick's restaurants, and really loved their food. The recipes are easy to follow, simple to make and are very tasty.
The reason for my rating, is that their are HUGE errors throughout the entire book. A few examples: Crab Rangoon recipe calls for yellow cornmeal in the ingredients list but makes no mention of it in the instructions. The recipe for Stuffed Salmon with Crab & Shrimp has no salmon in it! The photo on the facing page shows a stuffed salmon fillet, but the recipe calls for halibut.
This book suffers from poor editing. It smacks of being rushed for publication before the editing was completed.
This book would be a great addition to any home cooking library, but be prepared to find confusing recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seafood Lovers Rejoyce!, January 12, 2006

By	Shirley Priscilla Johnson "Author/Reviewer -... (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Mccormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant Cookbook (Hardcover)

If you are a lover of seafood this is the book for you. Absolutely brimming over with detailed information about seafood, how to cook it, keep yourself safe eating it and just plain enjoying it. Chef King shares with the reader his recipes of seafood that are used in the famous "McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurants," perhaps now you can enjoy these delicious meals at home.
We are given many recipes such as, Seafood Cocktails, Spenger's Fish Tacos, Apple Halibut and Grilled Rainbow Trout, to name only a few. This book is not stingy with its recipes and you will be amazed how many are shared with you and the concise and easy to following instructions for you to make these dishes.
You will also find a section on some mouth-watering deserts, such as, "Three Berry Cobbles," and "Deep-Dish Apple Pie." Hungry yet? The photos that I saw were bright and clear and certainly brought the food to light in a very visual way. All in all, for the seafood lover who would like to enjoy these wonderful meals at home, this cookbook is for you. Very well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Ever Seafood Gourmet Cookbook, January 6, 2008

By	G. Briggs (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mccormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant Cookbook (Hardcover)

I love this cookbook!!! Most of the recipes are one-page in length and are gourmet quality. It's restaurant quality recipes done at home - for those very special dinners. I tested over twenty of the dishes and all are award winning in taste and in presentation. I would recommend this book for the advanced cook who knows the basics and likes to experiment with seafood and sauces.
