Country Boy and I are both fans of fish and seafood fans. Unfortunately out here, there isn’t a lot of fresh seafood to be found. There is perch in the dam though. When ever we can get our hands on some fresh seafood, this is the book we consult to work out the best way to cook it. I even take it to Magic Beach each year!
My mother had this when I was little, and I can still remember the mint sauce recipe by heart all these years later – it was one of the first recipes I was put in charge of. You won’t find fancy recipes or beautiful pictures in here, but if you want a simple recipe for almost anything, this is THE place to start. I have one copy at home, and another at work. I use it all the time to calculate times and temperatures for roasting different meats. Can’t say I’ve used the offal chapter at all, but it’s all there!
