Book Review - FISH COOKBOOK

Dorling Kindersley are famous for the quality of their reference books and one of their latest kitchen bibles is focused on the sea: the DK FISH COOKBOOK, How to buy, prepare and cook the best sustainable fish and seafood from around the world (Dorling Kindersley £20/€25).

This lavishly illustrated book does what it says on the cover and is crammed with information on all aspects of fish and seafood, as well as offering over 300 recipes ranging from classics to everyday meals, and with all of the attention to detail expected of DK reference books.

And it’s fantastic value too – no wonder Irish publishers find it such tough going competing with the big international ones.
