âRich in history, lore, recipes, fascinating imagesâin short, a delicious book from start to finishâ (Sandy Ingber, Grand Central Oyster Bar). Â Tracing the oysterâs role in cooking, art, literature, and politics from the dawn of time to present day, this unique book reveals how oysters have sustained communities financially and ecologically, and have loomed surprisingly large in legend and history. Using the oyster as the central theme, Smith has organized the book around time periods and geographical locations, looking at the oysterâs influence through colorful anecdotes, eye-opening scientific facts, and a wide array of visuals. Â The book also includes fifty recipesâtraditional country dishes and contemporary examples from some of the best restaurants in the world. Renowned French chef Raymond Blanc calls Oyster âa brilliant crusade for the oyster that shows how food has shaped our history, art, literature, lawmaking, culture, and of course, love-making and cuisine.â |
