Who knew that complicated fish recipes could be so simple?, 2 July 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Modern Seafood Cook (Hardcover)
I have never written a book review before, but I am writing this one because I love Edward Brown's fish cookbook and hope that other people will buy it so it never goes out of print. Brown writes clearly without being clinical. The recipes I have tried were quite easy to follow, but the end results were very elegant and have earned me many compliments from dinner guests. The book includes a very useful guide about how different varieties of fish taste, and most recipes suggest substitutes in case the particular recommended fish is unavailable. The pleasure Brown take in his cooking is evident from the brief anecdotes that often accompany the recipes, but he never gets too hokey.

Reads Like A Bad Textbook....Don't Waste Your Money, 9 Jan 2000
By Janette - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Modern Seafood Cook (Hardcover)
This one is a looser...reading it made me feel like eating hard-boiled cork. Brown seems to think that everyone has a restaurant-size kitchen with all the gadgets and tools, and BIG budgets. There are also quite a few errors about seafood. Bad organization also made this book hard to read and very confusing.
