Product Description

Product Description

We are constantly being told about the benefits of eating fish and seafood - high in protein, low in fat and rich in nutrients. Yet we also know that species like cod and tuna are in danger of extinction while unscrupulous trawlers are over-fishing waters around the world. In this stunning new collection of fish recipes, Tom Aikens takes readers with him on a voyage of discovery. Having travelled to fish markets and spoken to fishermen worldwide, his recipes include new takes on ever-popular fish, such as sea bass, scallops and oysters, as well as ideas for lesser known but underfished, species like megrim sole, ling and gurnard. While urging us to ensure that we eat only sustainably sourced, line and net-caught fish, Aikens organises the book by cooking method - frying, baking, poaching, grilling, marinating and steaming. Each chapter has a dazzling array of mouthwatering dishes - whole bream baked in sea salt and fennel seeds; deep fried squid with lime and Aioli; grilled sardines with thyme and garlic; scallops with pan-fried pork belly; crab salad with lemon and orange; barbecued mullet with dill. Beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned photography, including step-by-step photographs for techniques such as descaling and filleting, this is a mouthwatering cookbook written by a chef who is passionate about his work. It is destined to become an essential addition to any cook's kitchen.


About the Author

Tom Aikens grew up in Cringleford, Norfolk, 40 minutes from the coast. He started working in London with Pierre Koffman at La Tante Claire. Two stints in France followed (with Joel Robuchon in Paris and Gerard Boyer in Reims) before he became Head Chef at Pied a Terre, London, in 1996. Tom opened his first restaurant, Tom Aikens, in Chelsea, London, in 2003 and Tom's Kitchen followed in 2006. Both his restaurants have won great critical acclaim.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taking the Fear out of Fish, 28 Dec 2008
By L. Conway (Highlands, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At last - a book that stops me fretting about fish. Not only are these fab recipes, but as someone who has always been more than slightly fearful of how to buy, prepare and cook the stuff, this book is a gods-send! With glorious pictures of everything from gutting and filleting a fish, to shucking an oyster and preparing a crab from scratch, I'm no longer a fish fearty. I now know how to buy the freshest and the best, what to do with it, and a whole compendium of tasty recipes to keep me on track in case I lose confidence. 2009 - the year of the fish. Bring it on!

5.0 out of 5 stars One cool book!!, 23 Dec 2008
By Y. Girard (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One great book for all the food lovers.This is not just one more cookery book, it's also a in depth look at what's going on within the industry. All the recipes are easy to make and you don't need to be Tom Aikens to make them. If you are passionate about fish and cooking, well this is the book for you!

3.0 out of 5 stars Hugh Fernley Whittingstall is better!, 6 Jan 2009
I got this book a few months ago and have now tried out a good few of the recipes. All have been good. That's not my main gripe about the book though. For £25 I expect the publisher to have done a proper job on copyediting and indexing. They haven't. Page references to recipes don't always match up. And the index is rubbish. For example, although the book contains 3 or 4 recipes for risotto, they are all listed under the fish used in it, not under the dish itself. So if you think, oh, I've got some good fish stock and fancy making a risotto, there is nothing to be found if you look it up in the index. It's irritating to say the least. The paper used in the production is also suspect. I got a corner damp and it just disintergrated on me.

All in all I'd say you're better off with Hugh Fernley Whittingstall's fish book.
