Title: Charlie Trotter's Seafood by Charlie Trotter ISBN: 0898158982 Publisher: Ten Speed Press Pub. Date: July, 1997 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $50.00 |

Summary: Don't try this at home!
Comment: Have you ever traveled cross-country to Chicago just to dine at Charlie Trotter's? I have, and it was one of the best meals of my life. This book and the others in the series are great at giving you a feel of what the real thing is like. The pictures are outstanding and the combinations just wow you. But if you think for a moment that any cookbook would allow you to duplicate what Charlie does, you are mistaken. Some cookbooks are for those who want to follow a recipe and duplicate it. This is not one of those. This is for people who want to understand the Chef's unique cuisine and appreciate it for the art that it is.

Summary: Good picture and idea book
Comment: This is a beautiful book. The pictures are stunning and the dishes are inspiring. That said, most of the recipes are terribly complicated for the home cook. Many of the fish are hard to get and regional; most of the preparations often require things that only a restaurant kitchen can feasibly do (i.e. tomato water).
Still, some of the dishes are approachable by the home cook and the if you are inventive, many could inspire you to come up with your own creations.
An added bonus (or potentially a distraction depending on you point of view) is that the dishes are grouped by the wines that would be accompany them - a novel approach.
Rating: 5
Summary: Art Book, Cook Book.
Comment: All of Trotter's books are fabulous, but this particular book belongs right on the coffee table for everyone to admire as often as they'd like. It is as much an art book, as it is a cook book, and inspires the reader through its text as well as photos. It is also excellent because it is divided into sections by the wines that he has chosen to accompany each seafood dish. This is a great way to view food, and it is loveley that he creates dishes to accompany all sorts of wines, both red and white. A must have book for all food and wine enthusiasts.
