Anyone who loves seafood will want to pick up Coastal Kitchen: Nourishing Seafood Recipes for Everyday Cooking by Jenny Shea Rawn, who is a registered dietician, recipe developer, food photographer, blogger, and food writer. She knows her stuff, because this excellent cookbook has dozens of mouthwatering recipes that will appeal to everyone.

Most of the recipes are fairly easy with short lists of ingredients. While many of the recipes are simple, many are innovative and not-your-everyday-boring-seafood. The recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions, which makes it easy for both beginning and advanced cooks. There is also good information to help those who are new at cooking seafood.

Many of the recipes are pictured with professional, beautiful photographs; it will be difficult to choose which recipe to make next.

The cookbook is divided up into chapters according to seafood types including salmon, lobster and other shellfish, scallops, and different types of fish, and also has a chapter on sauces and condiments to complement the seafood. Also included are non-seafood side dishes to serve with your favorite seafood recipes, as well as a few tempting New England desserts.
One unique addition to this cookbook is several “Seacuterie” boards. Since are boards are the latest craze, the boards are a trendy addition.

While this may not be a “seafood bible,” it has enough good recipes and information to belong on any cookbooks shelf. The recipes turn out well, and readers will find new things to cook every time they peruse the book.
