Based in Cape Cod, registered dietitian and food blogger Rawn presents traditional seafood recipes with a few twists in her first cookbook. The recipes are sodium and fat conscious (an air fryer is used for several recipes) and have an emphasis on fiber content through whole grains and fresh veggies. In addition, each recipe includes nutritional facts per serving. Recipes use crustaceans, mollusks, scallops, tuna (including canned), monkfish, squid, and many other varieties of seafood. Cooks will also find recipes for kelp, seafood charcuterie boards, sauces, condiments, and some non-seafood dishes to round out a meal. For those with dietary restrictions, some recipes are automatically gluten or dairy free. Buying and preparing seafood can be intimidating: How is one to choose a fresh specimen, store, and cook it properly? Rawn faces these concerns head-on in each section with 101 information for that particular seafood item. Recipes range from fewer than 10 ingredients with simple instructions to the opposite extreme. With helpful information, gorgeous photography of the final products, and additional recipe notes, Rawn makes seafood accessible for the home cook.
VERDICT This is a must-purchase for coastal libraries or those with access to fresh seafood.
