From Library Journal
The Pacific Heights Bar and Grill, Williams's famed San Francisco restaurant, quickly gained a formidable reputation for its oyster bar. The first half of Oysters is a knowledgeable essay by Warner on the history of man's use of oysters, oystering and oyster farming, and oyster biology. The well-selected recipes include suggestions about the specific type of oyster recommended. Since oysters cook in a very brief time, all the recipes are quickly prepared. Recommended. SP
