It's been said Gulf Coast oysters have the cleanest taste of any
oyster: "...it tastes of the sea and not much else, and for that reason
they should be the oysters against which all others should be
measured."
Gulf Coast Oysters: Classic & Modern Recipes for a Southern
Renaissance is the latest cookbook from acclaimed and award-winning
chef, Irv Miller. Beautifully photographed and replete with
mouth-watering recipes, Gulf Coast Oysters is a joyful and thorough
exploration of Gulf oyster culture that honors the many oyster classics
of the Gulf foodways while also putting a fresh, modern spin on
preparing "panhandle pearls."
Going beyond its delicious recipes and stunning photos, Gulf Coast
Oysters also focuses on preserving the Gulf's cross-cultural,
Southern traditions and a goal of creating new interest in
seafood-sustainable products. Miller's years of hands-on experience of
modernizing the way the Florida Panhandle thinks about food, as well as
his support of sustainable food-producing practices, has provided him
the unique and credentialed perspective for telling the story of the
ever-changing food scene along the Gulf Coast.
Whether you're a native of the Gulf Coast, a passionate epicurean, or
simply part of the growing population of oyster fans that's booming from
coast-to-coast, Gulf Coast Oysters: Classic & Modern Recipes for a
Southern Renaissance is an bountiful book of diverse Gulf oyster
recipes, striking photography, and an engaging look at the culture
surrounding the ancient mollusk's place on Gulf coast.
