My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love fish. Actually, I love seafood. Most kinds of seafood–I’m on board. Not all of my family is quite so sold on it, but I couldn’t wait to try some great recipes from this book. For my healthy-eating husband and shellfish hating daughter, I made Sole en Papillote. Full disclosure, I used flounder instead of sole, but that is one of the suggested substitutes. We really enjoyed this dish, and my family would be quite happy for me to make it again.

I, on the other hand, was in the mood for a full-on seafood feast, so I went to Bourride with Homemade Garlic Aioli–a delightful fish stew from Provence. Life was somewhat hectic at that moment, so the garlic aioli didn’t get made, but trust me when I tell you that this is an amazing stew even without it! Oh, my! Talk about a party in your mouth!! The flavors were full on with a depth that some of the fish stews I’ve made haven’t achieved. To make it even better, it’s really an easy stew to make!

If you love seafood, or just want to learn to cook it, this is a great book for you. The recipes are clear and easy to follow, and the flavors are wonderful. Grab some seafood and fix a feast at home!

I received a copy of this book from Storey Publishing for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
