Two Chefs, One Catch: A Culinary Exploration of Seafood

Following the success of their self-published, IACP award-winning Flying Pans: Two Chefs, One World, Chefs Ron Oliver and Bernard Guillas of the prestigious and popular  Marine Room in La Jolla, California, are back at it again with this stunning seafood cookbook. The more than 120 delectable fish, shellfish, and crustacean recipes are organized by species and accompanied by expert tips on selection and preparation as well as engaging anecdotes and stories conveying the Chefs’ culinary expertise and insatiable cultural curiosity.
