My daughter knows my passion for cookbooks and recently when we were over for a delicious dinner, she told me I should really write about her favorite fish cookbook. How could I say no, especially since the dish she served was so delicious.
So I took home her battered copy of Creative Cooking Fish and Other Seafood, and found many a delicious dish to play with, including
And herein lies the problem...Joanna bought her copy way back in 1992, at a local grocery store. She was just new to cooking fish and the fishmonger suggested the book. And while it's true, that it doesn't have photos (I do love cookbooks with pictures to inspire me, and help me get a visual sense of the recipe), it does have simple, easy to follow recipes for fish and seafood - 500 of them, in fact. Unfortunately it's out of print and the publisher listed on the back of the book - Ottenheimer Publishers for Landoll's, seems to have disappeared too.
So you're challenge, if you love a good fish cookbook, is to check out second hand bookshops or perhaps the Internet. It's worth the effort.
