An enticing collection of recipes from our oceans, rivers and lakes finds form in a stunning coffee table book, launching this month. 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 foreward by Heston Blumenthal, ‘A boy after the sea’ is 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.
Kevin Snook will be launching the book at a reception held at Barbara-Jo’s Books to Cooks on Thursday 17th September. Canapés will be served by Chef David Hawksworth and all attendees will receive a copy of the book. Costs: $65. For more information visit www.bookstocooks.com or call 604-688-6755.
