Cucina Del Mare: Fish and Seafood Italian Style

Rating:
Summary: Simple Italian seafood recipes with impressive results.
Review: In this book, Ms. Klieman provides a variety of Italian seafood recipes thatare generally easy to prepare and, almost without exception, delicious andimpressive. When I am entertaining I consistently return to it for recipes and ideas. My only caveats in using this book is that you make sure that you use the freshest ingredients available (it makes a big difference) and that you be prepared to search around for an ingredient or two (unless you live in a city with a sizable Italian-American population). One of my favorite recipes includes boiling the feathery tops of fennel with angel hair pasta. To my horror, I found that Seattle area produce managers regularly trimmed the tops off and threw them away.
