Do we really need more recipes for beef stew, polenta, and ratatouille? If they're the work of famed restaurateur and "food activist" Alice Waters, undoubtedly. In The Art of Simple Food, Waters offers 200-plus recipes for these and other simple but savory dishes, like Spicy Cauliflower Soup, Fava Bean Purée, and Braised Chicken Legs, as well as dessert formulas for the likes of Nectarine and Blueberry Crisp and Tangerine Ice. In addition, readers learn (or become reacquainted with) the Waters mantra: eat locally and sustainably; eat seasonally; shop at farmers markets. These are the rules by which she approaches food and cooking, and hopes we will too. Organized largely by techniques, the book is a kind of primer, designed to free readers from recipe reliance.

Some readers may look askance at advice that they search out sources for locally produced food, for example, given the everyday exigencies of shopping and getting meals on the table. Yet it is precisely the need to "remake" our relationship to food that, Waters contends, determines the ultimate success of all our cooking and dining, not to mention our health and that of the planet. This relatively small book has a large message, and good everyday recipes to back it up. --Arthur Boehm

Good ideas almost made me jump up and empty my kitchen cupboards of unnecessary gadgets and start over, but I resisted and read further and found that I could integrate a few of my treasures into a new format.
Life is so fast these days. This book is an island of calm informative suggestions on how to feed your family and friends healthy, superb food.

Too much fondant - Sunflower Summer - Massachusetts
Almost every cake in this book requires the use of fondant (sugarpaste) icing. I don't care for fondant--it looks good but doesn't taste good, in my opinion. I would like to have known that beforehand--I would not have bought it if I'd known.

True to the title - K. S. Pettry - Charleston WV
The book will make you feel like a gourmet but without all the work. After years of meat and potatoes cooking this book was a real treat that opened up a whole new world for me.

good for an experienced cook... - Amanda Bremner - Madison, WI
I'm a college student and finally decided to grow up and move away from rice a roni and frozen burritos and start cooking for real, so I got this book thinking that anything with three ingredients has to be simple enough for me to make - especially since it claims to have "simple and sensational recipes for everyday cooking."
Unfortunately this was not the book for me. The recipes are simple enough in their ingredients but not much else. Most of the recipes require expensive specialized equipment such as a dutch oven or food processor which a beginner's kitchen just isn't going to have. and they offer no suggestions for what to do if you don't have all this equipment.
The cooking itself is also very complex and time consuming. While I'm not exactly an experienced chef, I do know my way around a kitchen from helping my mom and two cooking classes I took in high school. But the recipes in this book often require way more skill than the average person is going to have (like making your own pasta noodles), and they generally don't give any explanation of how to go about doing the required tasks so if you don't already know you have to look it up or just wing it.
Also, many of the ingredients are really hard to come by or expensive. The authors refer many times to very specific ingredients that they can get at their local market, but if your area doesn't have the same selection you're out of luck.

I don't want to bash the book too much because the recipes do all sound excellent and if I had the resources and skill to make these I think I would like the book a lot more. Mainly I just think that the title is deceptive because it claims to be simple everyday recipes and I can't imagine anyone making some of these things for anything other than a special occasion.

on a side note - if you happen to love mushrooms this could be a great book for you. however, if you're like me and highly dislike them, I'd avoid this book. The authors are obviously big fans of mushrooms and feature them in a very high percentage of the recipes - and when there are only 3 ingredients you can't really just leave the mushrooms off and still have a complete dish.

WS doesnt disappoint! - Rose Bunch - Dallas, TX USA
A well designed book with great recipies different than some of the regurgitated books from Williams Sonoma that just take recipies from already existing Williams Sonoma books and put them into themed books "Med. Cooking", "Slow cooker", etc. An easy, go-to, cookbook that will inspire when looking for a new twist on dinner.

How to Cook Fish; Hundreds of Simple Recipes

How to Cook Fish; Hundreds of Simple Recipes








gotoshop



Product Details


(The books I publish are always proof read and corrected before publishing on Kindle! David Snode)

"First catch your hare," the old cookery books used to say, and hence it is proper, in a
treatise devoted entirely to the cooking of Unshelled Fish, to pay passing attention to the Catching. As it is evident that the catching must, in every case precede the cooking, but not too far, the preface is the place to begin.

Shell-fish are slow of movement, without guile, pitifully trusting, and very easily caught. Observe the difference between the chunk of mutton and four feet of string with which one goes crabbing, and the complicated hooks, rods, flies, and reels devoted to the capture of unshelled fish.

An unshelled fish is lively and elusive past the power of words to portray, and in this lies its desirability. People will travel for two nights and a day to some spot where an unshelled fish has once been seen, taking .99 worth of fishing tackle, "marked down from .00 for to-day only," rent a canoe, hire a guide at more than human life is
worth in courts of law, and work with dogged patience from gray dawn till sunset. And
for what? For one small bass which could have been bought at any trustworthy market
for sixty-five cents, or some poor little kitten-fish offspring of a catfish whose mother's milk is not yet dry upon its lips.

Other fish who have just been weaned and are beginning to notice solid food will repeatedly take a hook too large to swallow, and be dragged into the boat, literally, by
the skin of the teeth. Note the cheerful little sunfish, four inches long, which is caught
first on one side of the boat and then on the other, by the patient fisherman angling off a
rocky, weedy point for bass.

But,"He is no true fisherman who is willing to fish only when fish are biting." The real angler will sit all day in a boat in a pouring rain, eagerly watching the point of the rod, which never for an instant swerves a half inch from the horizontal. The real angler will troll for miles with a hand line and a spinner, winding in the thirty-five dripping feet of the lure every ten minutes, to remove a weed, or "to see if she's still a-spinnin'." Vainly he hopes for the muskellunge who has just gone somewhere else, but, by the same token, the sure enough angler is ready to go out next morning, rain or shine, at sunrise.

It is a habit of Unshelled Fish to be in other places, or at your place, but at another time. The guide can never understand what is wrong. Five days ago, he himself caught more bass than he could carry, at that identical rocky point. In the forty years that the guide has lived in the place, he has never known the fishing to be as poor as it is now. Why, even "old Pop Somers" has ceased to fish !

But, fish or no fish, there are compensations. Into a day of heart-breaking and soul-
sickening toil, when all the world goes wrong, must sometimes come the vision of a wooded shore, with tiny dark wavelets singing softly on the rocks. Tired eyes look past the musty ledger and the letter files to a tiny sapphire lake, set in hills, with the late afternoon light streaming in glory from the far mountains beyond.

Yet, when all is said and done, the catching of fish is a matter of luck, a gambler's chance,
if you will have it so. The cooking, in unskilled hands, is also a lottery, but, by following the appended recipes, becomes an art to which scientific principles have been faith-
fully applied.

Having caught your fish, you may cook him in a thousand ways, but it is doubtful whether, even with the finest sauce, a pompano will taste half as good as the infantile muskellunge, several pounds under the legal weight, fried unskillfully in pork fat by a horny-handed woodsman, kneeling before an open fire, eighteen minutes after you had given up all hope of having fish for dinner, and had resigned yourself to the dubious prospect of salt pork, eggs, and coffee which which any s
