A Boy After the Sea
*Winner of the 2010 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards Best in the World in the Fish and Seafood Category*
An enticing collection of recipes from our oceans, rivers and lakes finds form in a stunning coffee table book. Featuring recipes crafted by internationally renown chefs from fourteen different countries including Alain Roux, Alice Waters, Rick Stein and Vancouver’s own David Hawksworth, with a poignant forward by Heston Blumenthal, A Boy After the Sea is a worthy addition to any food lover’s library.
Appealing to cooks of every level, the book features stunning photography, detailed recipes and a fascinating look into the problems affecting our fishing world. Inspiring and insightful, the practice of sustainable fishing is highlighted and suggestions are made on sourcing seafood, which has been raised in safe and respectful ways.
Created by British chef and entrepreneur Kevin Snook, A Boy After the Sea is an inspiring tribute to his son Dan Snook, a young man who was passionate about both fishing and cooking. All proceeds of the book will be donated to the Dan Snook Trust Foundation charity, committed to helping young people from all walks of life overcome hurdles and offer guidance when they lose their way.
Copies of A Boy After the Sea are available for purchase by individuals and by book retailers. Please contact Barbara-Jo's Books to Cooks at 604-688-6755 or e-mail us at bookcook@intergate.ca for more information.
