Eating there is a leisurely and memorable experience because Chef Trotter is endlessly creative and meticulously precise in his cooking. He uses the best ingredients and says one should do as little as possible to embellish them. Does he practice what he preaches? In your dreams!<p> The simplest of the 75 recipes in <i>Charlie Trotter's Seafood</i> are for dishes like Olive-Oil Roasted Swordfish with Oven-Roasted Tomato and Black Olives, and the Slow-Roasted Salmon with Red Wine Risotto, Wild Thyme and Tiny White Asparagus. His more typical, and even more breathtaking, creations are often based on Hawaiian fish, like Steamed Gindai and Mussels with Lemongrass Broth. On the plate these dishes are all as artistically arranged as they sound.<p> This is food pornography at its peak. Every dish, as exotic and complex as a lesson from the <i>Kama Sutra</i>, is shown in gloriously intimate, obscenely alluring, vinaigrette-dotted detail by photographer Tim Turner. Ambitious cooks will appreciate Trotter's recommended piscatorial substitutions. Finding other ingredients, like bleeding heart radishes and shallot blossoms, is up to you. Not to mention making time to produce the infused oils and deeply flavored stocks often called for. The recipes are grouped, unexpectedly, by the wines best for accompanying them. Trotter starts with champagne and proceeds through 16 other kinds of wine, from white Viognier to red Syrah and Barbera.<p> If complex, original cooking fascinates you, here is the chance to navigate an ocean of new seafood ideas and culinary combinations. <i>--Dana Jacobi</i> 579579 1997 Charlie Trotter's Seafood total:9|5:4|4:1|3:3|1:1| 9 34 12 1 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 1 0 false Fri Apr 13 08:37:57 -0700 2007 Fri Apr 13 08:38:17 -0700 2007 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 0 0 false Wed Sep 09 19:38:13 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 19:38:22 -0700 2009 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 5 0 false Fri Jul 17 12:59:53 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 12:59:53 -0700 2009 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 5 0 false Tue Jun 16 05:45:33 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 05:45:33 -0700 2009 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 5 0 false Sat Apr 18 18:08:35 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 18:08:35 -0700 2009 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 0 0 false Sat Mar 28 19:28:17 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 19:28:19 -0700 2009 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 4 0 false Wed Feb 25 12:54:42 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 12:54:42 -0800 2009 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 0 0 false Sat Jan 03 18:39:28 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 18:39:28 -0800 2009 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 5 0 false Sun Jul 06 17:04:53 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 17:04:53 -0700 2008 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 3 0 false Wed Jan 09 12:45:12 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 12:45:12 -0800 2008 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 3 0 false Tue Dec 25 20:07:27 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 25 20:07:27 -0800 2007 592842 0898158982 9780898158984 9 1 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176094769m/592842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/592842.Charlie_Trotter_s_Seafood 3 0 false Wed Nov 14 09:34:47 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 14 09:34:47 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=592842
