 Le Bernardin Cook Book: Four-Star Simplicity
ASIN: 0385488416
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Four-Star Simplicity with Seafood
Comments: I'm really into seafood, and this is the cookbook for that genre.
The sophistication of taste and presentation is the ultimate maxization of the fresh seafood.
One is impressed instantly upon perviewing the recipes and trying them of the intense experience this chef has had with the ingredients and prep techniques.
Four-star chefbooks are typically intimidating due to all the ingredients and steps, but here it's minimal, yet turns out utmost in culinary heights.
Try these, they'll be knockout dishes! Pan-Roasted Grouper with Wild Mushrooms and Artichokes (served with unbelievable pork jus); Roast Monkfish on Savoy Cabbage and Bacon-Butter Sauce; Black Bass in Cabbage Packages with Purple Mustard Sauce; Yellowtail Snapper with Garden Vegetables.
Accompaniments are worth paper as well, with monster dinner dessert of "Earl Grey Tea and Mint Soup with Assorted Fruit;Gruyere and Potato Cakes.
Tough one to match in my extensive collection!

 Simply Salmon
ASIN: 1584790261
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: An aphrodisiac for passionate salmon lovers!
Comments: Salmon is my favorite fish, so I borrowed this book from the library, but I'm buying it now! Mouthwatering recipies with lots of good pictures, lots of information about different kinds of salmon and different ways to cook it, how can you go wrong? The recipes are so interesting I read them out loud to my sister, a chef! He covers the basics like grilling and and sauteing, but also gets into smoking, curing, roasting, making lox and even making salmon ravioli. Each recipe is described in detail by an author who obviously has made each dish and loves every one! Try sauteed salmon with Thai-style coconut broth, salmon "saltimbocca" (wrapping the salmon in prosciutto), or one of the many salsas he includes to go with grilled salmon.
The author teaches at the French Culinary Institute, after running a restaurant in New York City, and he obviously knows and loves this fish! Altogether an excellent introduction with lots of scope for more experienced cooks too!

 Simply Shrimp, Salmon, and (Fish) Steaks: Easy, Delicious, and Healthful Ways to Enjoy Your Favorite Seafood Plus Side Dishes to Make a Meal
ASIN: 0060193379
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Delicious and Different
Comments: I love cookbooks, and try a lot of recipes. The recipes in this book are wonderful. They're easy, varied, and use a wide selection of produce, which is important to my family. We eat no meat but fish, and no dairy. I often get dismayed that so many cookbooks base recipe after recipe on these "forbidden" ingredients, but few of the dishes in this book rely on dairy; those that include some cheese are perfectly delicious without it, such as the Salmon Cobb Salad.
Ms. Pendleton has created many dishes which are healthy and out of the ordinary. She has a real flair for giving meals an ethnic flare, for instance Asian or Mediterranean, yet they are unique, not cliched. And they are not elaborate or difficult, yet have a very gourmet result, especially for how easy they are.
This is a very different cookbook; you will not find it redundant to your collection, even if you have dozens of other cookbooks. I highly recommend it, especially if you're trying to eat healthy. You will not have a boring diet with this book to give you ideas!

Comments: for those who eat tuna! I turn to this cookbook several times a month when minutes matter.. we always have canned tuna in the pantry, and the other ingredients are usually on hand as well.
