Oysters or Alternative Vegan

Oysters

Author: John DeMers

What do a poor boy and a Rockefeller have in common? Everything-if you guessed the bodacious bivalve beloved in the Big Easy. John DeMers, publisher of EasyFood magazine, and Andrew Jaeger, the third generation of a New Orleans seafood restaurant family, have joined forces for the best little book on this slippery subject. For the experienced purist or the enthusiastic novice who wants to slurp 'em down raw, they offer essentials for purchasing, cleaning, and shucking. Distilled from their forthcoming New Orleans Seafood Cookbook (Ten Speed Press) these recipes can truly claim to please every palate and preference. Try your favorite or local variety sautŠ¹ed, smoked, grilled, barbecued, baked, deep or pan fried. In a stew, a po'boy, or a peacemaker. And don't worry if you don't know your Belons from your Blue Points, or your Kumamotos from your Apalachicolas-just enjoy!
