COPY ISBN
Millstein, cofounder and CEO of the Fishwife Tinned Fish Company, has written an accessible and celebratory tribute to tinned fish, showcasing the versatility and long shelf life of these popular vessels for seafood. The book sings the praises of the industry and peeks inside the global locations of canneries that prepare and package for brands. After pantry staples and easy building blocks to have on hand to use in the recipes, each section focuses on a different season, situation, or occasion, such as summertime, Sunday mornings, and winter comfort foods. The illustrations reflect the company but expand to grace the pages of the book with whimsy. Includes recipes for quick lunches and snacks, classics with a twist like the tuna melt, and a mouthwatering Niçoise salad sandwich. Each recipe makes the most of seasonal ingredients, plus inventive suggestions for salads and formal dinner offerings using tinned tuna, smoked salmon, oysters, anchovies, and more in ways that boost confidence.
VERDICT This well-rounded book on the many uses of tinned fish is sure to delight cooks new to this form or long term aficionados.
