The 150 recipes emphasize simplicity, fresh ingredients, and ethnic and regional tastes, as well as an innovative approach to the infinite possibilities of this popular cuisine. Author Isaac Cronin also provides expert tips on kitchen equipment, cutting techniques, cooking methods, and how to pick the best fish at the fish market.
