Review

'The best friend you can have in the kitchen.' Nigel Slater


Product Description

Leiths Fish Bible is the only fish cookbook you will ever need. With innumerable recipes from all over the world, it has something for every occasion from a simple supper to an elegant dinner. As with every book from the classic Leiths series, all recipes are fool-proof, easy to use with an emphasis on proper technique. Here are many of the classics - dishes such as Sole Meuniere, Risotto Nero, Lobster Thermidor and Deep-fried Cod in Beer Batter - alongside the contemporary - Mackerel, Rice Noodle and Peanut Salad, Noisettes of Salmon with Cucumber and Fennel Salsa - and the exotic - Braised Octopus in Rioja, Seafood Laksa and Sushi Nigiri. Chapters are divided by fish groups (with alternative fish given for every recipe) with an extensive chapter on Shellfish as well as Preserved Fish. There is also detailed information on methods of preparation and cooking techniques such as filleting and boning, alongside preparing shellfish and home-smoking. This new edition has been revised, updated and redesigned with several new recipes and stunning new photographs. Comprehensive and authoritative, it is an essential book for every kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the info you will ever need to cook fish and seafood, 2 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Leith's Fish Bible (Hardcover)
Alot of text and few pictures make this book less attractive than other glossy highstreet cookbooks. However, get over the school text book idea and you have probably the only fish cookbook you will ever need. Basic techniques are clearly explained, and with a glossary of terms, there should be few problems when you want to try some of the more exotic recipes. There are classics as well as modern ideas and inspirational combinations, with all kinds of fish and shellfish covered; plus fish-family-background information so you have an idea of what your fish is like before you buy it. Most recipes provide at least one alternative choice of fish so you can adapt ideas easily according to what fish is available to you. Wine advice and a wine suggestion for each recipe are also there. Besides fish there is a chapter on accompaniments, sauces and relishes which is a cookbook in itself. The few pictures provided are colourful and glossy, but are grouped in sections so finding the matching recipe is not always easy. Some information is unnecessary for your average cook, (such as fishing laws), but it is in its own turnoverable chapter. In all, an excellent guide and inspiration for amatures and professionals alike.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but Rather Unexciting, 8 Mar 2006
By A Customer
If you don't have the basics of fish cookery I think you'd be better off with a smaller book which focuses on basic techniques and offers tried and tested regulars. If you can cook fish then you'd probably be happier with a cookbook which shares your enthusiasm for new ways with fish and shows appetising pictures of the possible results. If you want to read about fish buy a book by Alan Davidson. This great unwieldy thing is okay but I'd have said that it's true place is in a hotel where there's the requirement for a fish choice each day; you can go to the market, buy what's going and when you get back just look up the index. I can see why the previous reviewer approves but as an adequately informed amateur I'm happier to weave between Alan Davidson and Mitchell Tonks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real bible for any fish lover, 10 Nov 2007
By Laural (Berkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
My family does not eat meat, but we do eat fish, and quite a lot of it. The techniques are explained really well, and the recipes always work well. Together with the Leith's Vegetarian Bible, this book has now become my main source of recipes and ideas. I highly recommend both to fish lovers and semi-vegetarians (like me).
