Fish, Indian Style: 100 Simple Spicy Recipes

Childrens Toy Shop > Food and Drink > Fish and Seafood
by: Atul Kochhar

June 16, 2008
I was very much looking foreward to Atul's new book, having absolutely loved his other book. I have not been dissappointed.

I've tried a few recipes, and they are simply amazing. They are light, well balanced and excellently spiced dishes. Some of these do taste like my mums food! Really authentic indian fish cookery (and its also regional - giving a flavour from different areas in India). Its great that most of the fish used are available in the supermarkets - and Atul also offers a range of alternative fish can be used in the recipes.

Only minor draw back is too few pictures (unlike his other book, which had most recipes with a photo of the finished dish).

The recipes are great. Highly recommended!

Rick Stein's Seafood

September 07, 2006
As a Professional chef, I am pleased that I can still find books that are truly inspirational and helpful. If you need to learn basic fish teqniques then this book you should buy. Rick knows what he's talking about especially when it comes to fish.

The book is divided into 3 parts. It starts with easy step by step techniques with photos of how to prep, cut and cook a variety of fish. The second part gives you recipes to try when you have mastered the techiques and then follows the third part which is gives detailed information and diagrams of fish varieties complete with their latin names.

I truly recommend this book for anybody who wants to learn new skills whether professional or amateur. It has helped me when producing ... Read More:

Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World

Childrens Toy Shop > Food and Drink > Fish and Seafood
by: Mark Kurlansky

May 06, 1999
Cod could have been a good book but the author, Mark Kurlansky, seems intent on driving home his point that the cod fish has been vital through the course of civilization. Unfortunately, Mr. Kurlansky isn't afraid to exaggerate or in some cases simply twist the truth in order to make this point. I can't speak for the entire book since I am not an expert on the entire history that he covers, but I can point out a couple of blatant errors. "How did the Vikings survive in greenless Greenland", Mr. Kurlansky asks on page 21. Cod is his answer. But that is incorrect. Greenland was not "greenless" when the Vikings settled there. As a quick trip to Wikipedia shows, Greenland was much warmer at the times the Vikings settled there. "These remote communities ... Read More:

Vegetarian Cooking Without: Recipes Free from Added Gluten, Sugar, Yeast, Dairy Products, Meat, Fish, Saturated Fat

Childrens Toy Shop > Food and Drink > Fish and Seafood
by: Barbara Cousins

May 15, 2000
Incomplete recipes for turgid slop! I have been a veggie for 22 years, and am a good cook/baker, so I thought I'd try this. It looks like a good idea (if you can get past the pseudo-science in the intro), but the recipes just don't work, that's if she's bothered to finish them - several had bits missing, which is just lazy writing/editing.

Leith's Fish Bible

Childrens Toy Shop > Food and Drink > Fish and Seafood
by: C.J. Jackson

October 17, 2005
My family does not eat meat, but we do eat fish, and quite a lot of it. The techniques are explained really well, and the recipes always work well. Together with the Leith's Vegetarian Bible, this book has now become my main source of recipes and ideas. I highly recommend both to fish lovers and semi-vegetarians (like me).
