Fabulous Sea Food Dishes

This book is well done. There are many beautiful pictures through the book. The receipes are absoutely yummie and easy to follow and prepare. It also contains side dishes and deserts.

Simply the finest you will find

It is difficult to appreciate with words, the overarching quality and class of Jake's establishment's in Portland.Having been to both, I cannot say enough. Orange roughy,so memorable that now, 6 years later, I can remember this particular dish. Anyhow, I've made the chowder from this cookbook, back when I was in Portland, and it was so fantastic that the we all concluded it was one of the finest dishes the palate could behold. Just unbelievable texture and flavor.Does anyone know the recipe for their chocolate torte cake?I don't believe they'll ever let that one out into the public domain, for the entire world would well go mad with joy.Perhaps we could use a bit of this just now. Buy the book!!

Great Cookbook

I have had this cookbook for many years. I had a dinner party and my Aunt loved the pasta dish, so I am ordering her a copy (I hope I can now get my copy back from her)You'll love the the tuni recipe.

Excellent seafood, reasonable prep time

This is a great cookbook for the fish lover. I have had it for about 2 years and have tried almost 20 of the recipes-- all turned out very well. This book has taken the famous recipes of the McCormick and Schmick(?) restaurants and simplified them slightly. Many of the recipes can be done in 15 minutes or less and without alot of exotic ingredients!

Jake's Seafood - Fabulous Food!

While I am certain that all of Jake's recipes are marvelous, I have a few favorites from the cookbook!The Thai Pasta Salad recipe is Superb! Not only is the recipe easy to follow and delicious, but it is also fast. Other favorites are the Seafood Chili and Fresh Salsa! Yummy! Both of these can be served with other items.All of the sauce recipes are wonderful! I especially like the Hollandaise.I recommend that everyone who loves seafood try this cookbook!
