John’s newest book, The Hog Island Book of Fish & Seafood, was chosen as one of The Best Cookbooks of 2023 by Food & Wine magazine.
“I hate to start out with a pun about a place known for its oysters, but The Hog Island Book of Fish & Seafood is a pearl. If you’re nervous about working with crustaceans and seafood at home, this book calms all stormy waters by building on foundational cooking basics (roasting, steaming, grilling, pan-frying) and so much more. The illustrated techniques make a huge difference and offer a visual guide to things like shucking and filleting. Ever since I’ve had it on my shelf, I find myself reaching for it like a familiar book at the local library.” — Andee Gosnell, Assistant Food Editor.
