Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

In 1995, Rick Stein, the proprietor of The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall, won the Andreacute; Simon Memorial Fund Food Book Award for Taste of the Sea, which accompanied his television series. Rick Stein's Fruits of the Sea is an update with a touch of the exotic as it includes recipes Stein devised after travelling to the Far East.

Stein has a no-fuss approach to cooking, dishing up meals which can be prepared in less than an hour. Fruits of the Sea contains over 100 new fish recipes to cater for all occasions and palates, including family meals like Mackerel Fish Cakes with Fennel or Fillet of Cod with Saffron Mashed Potatoes. The ingredients for these should be easy to find at any supermarket or fishmonger. For those with a taste for the exotic, there's Thai Red Seafood, and Goan Prawn Balchao; and for dinner parties there are dishes such as the Small Ragout with a Deep Red Wine Sauce or Escalopes of Salmon with Champagne and Chive Sauce.

An illustrated guide to cleaning and filleting fish is included and there's a glossary explaining how Eastern ingredients such as wasabi and shrimp paste are sold and used. Of course, as anyone who has been to Rick and Jill Stein's restaurant will know, the desserts are superb: a few, like Baked Chocolate Mousse with Cornish Clotted Cream, and Pine Kernel and Ricotta Tart, are in the book.



Product Description

Originally published in 1997 this book accompanies the BBC television series, containing over 150 recipes for hot and spicy dishes, fish salads and a selection of desserts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enthusiastic, simple and delicious., 6 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Rick Stein is not only a superb chef but his writing is clear, simple and enthusiastic - like his food. He gives plenty of tips from what utensils to buy, to how to store fish and how to make excellant stocks. All the way through the book he carries you along with his passion and almost cooly, simplistic aproach. If you like fish - or even if you don't - I am sure you will find this book rewarding, not only for the food but also the interesting little tit bits he incorporates.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" recipe book, 7 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Rick Stein's passion for seafood is only equaled by his skill and artistry in seafood preparation. This is a "must have" recipe book, especially if your not over keen on sea food. Stein's straight forward and simplistic approach make sea food in general a much more palatable choice to what is basically an underrated and easily accessible food source. You will be amazed at how easily and quickly you can produce mouth watering dishes with the humble Cod,sea bass or just a crab, and quicker than the Que for a fast food burger! Rick Stein's down to earth character helps give a real feeling that you can tackle all the recipe's and the instructions are as clear and precise as they need to be, after all says Rick "a recipe is just a basic guide not something to be followed religiously". This book has certainly opened my eyes to seafood and steers you away from the days of "steamed fish" that probably turns most people away from seafood in the first place. This is one book that will help you see just what you have been missing and After all we do live on an Island surrounded by sea

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply cooked fish from a down-to-earth cook!, 27 Sep 2005
By ABCeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
'In 1995, Rick Stein brought the taste of fish into thousands of British homes with his
ground-breaking TV series and best-selling book, 'Taste of the Sea'.
Reluctant fish-eaters were won over by the simple flavours and no-fuss approach of
Rick's cooking, and by the sheer enthusiasm of this charismatic cook.
'Fruits of the Sea' contains over 100 fabulous new fish recipes to cater for all
occasions and palates. As well as contemporary recipes, Rick has created some hot
and spicy dishes inspired by his travels in Asia and Australia.
To encourage us to include more fish in our diet, but realising that most cooks are
busy people, Rick provides a range of recipes that can be prepared in half an hour.
For more adventurous cooks, and those really special occasions, there are a selection
of exquisite and elegant dishes.
And to end, by popular request from his Cornwall restaurant devotees, Rick
provides a selection of the most tempting desserts imaginable, such as 'Baked
Chocolate Mousse with Cornish Clotted Cream' (WOW!!!).

With his classic 'Taste of the Sea' and now its perfect new partner, 'Fruits of the
Sea', Rick has at last restored fish cookery to its rightful place on Britain's culinary
map.'

224 high quality pages with colour photographs throughout. Split into chapters:-
Intro, Preparing Fish, Unusual Ingredients, Soups, Stews and clear Broths, Light
Lunch Dishes, Hot and Spicy Fish, Deep-fried Fish, Summer Fish and Salads, Fish
from Colder Climates, Elegant Fish Dishes, Quick and Simple Fish, Hand-held and
Pastry Food, Food to Finish With, Basics, Listing of American, Australian and New
Zealand Fish, Alternative Fish, Concise Index.
Our favourite recipes:-
'Cullen Skink', 'Seafood Paella', 'Fillet of Bass on a Crisp Risotto Cake with Saffron
Sauce', 'The Finest Seafood in a Small Ragout with a Deep Red Wine Sauce',
'Mussels with a Cream and White Wine Sabayon', 'Whelk Fritters'and 'Mussels
with Tomato, Celery and Saffron Butter'.
And as for those puds:-
'Pear Bavarois with a Fresh Passion Fruit Coulis', 'Creme Brulée Ice Cream', 'Hot
Bread Pudding with Armagnac Sauce' and ......, wait for it..........'Sticky Toffee
Pudding'.....!
A superb book and at a brilliant price, as always, on Amazon today.
