this book is lovely-it's basically about seafood (surprisingly!!!) and contains over a 100 recipes from all over the world. They include (just to give you a taster) dishes such as Kedgeree of Arbroath Smokies (is it just me who thinks that sounds lovely and traditional?!),Baked whole sea bass and Singapore Chilli Crab. Rick explains in detail with pictures how to prepare different fish which is really useful if you've ever wanted to cook something and not known how to actually prepare the thing!! I think this book would make a great present but the cost differs depending on where you go. Try searching the net for a better deal. Rick Steins anecdotes always bring a smile to my face which has to be worth something?! It's the sort of book you'd like to have lying around. i don't really know how to describe it. My only complaint is that some of the recipes don't have photographs so it's difficult to see what you're trying to aim for. The pictures that are included however are fantastic and look good enough to eat!!! This book actually accompanies a TV series buti think that's finished so if you liked the series, i recommend this book.

I like seafood but I always wonder how to prepare the wonderful array of fish on the fresh fish counter at my local supermarket, so this sounds likea good book for me :o)

Mmmm, seafood. In my experience, getting hold of anything but white fish, frozen prawns, or dyed yellow "smoked" fish is the problem.

It sounds the sort of book I should have, as I love seafood. Louise.
