Book Reviews of Lobster at Home
Book Review: A must-have for anyone serious about lobster!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jasper White eloquently describes how lobsters live, how they are caught, where to buy them and how to prepare them.The book is divided into three sections. The first describes the lobster as an animal, the lobster industry and the seasonal influences on the lobster market. Very detailed, with sufficient illustrations it provides you with practical background information.
The second part, deals with basic cooking techniques. Different cooking and cutting techniques are discussed, including basic recipes and tables, for cooking, steaming, grilling, broiling and frying lobster. Each of the basic recipes, is followed by some of Jasper's reciped.
The third part of the book, contains lobster recipes from famous cooks, ranging from Puck to Rebouchon. Creative recipes representing the major kitchens of the world, and often combining them in good American tradition. Traditionalists would categorise most recipes as fusion, but I believe this is just modern cooking.
Alto! gether, the book is packed with facts and anecdotes and is the definite bible for lobster afficionados.
