!This is a dream cookbook. Who in the world wouldn't want to try 'Catch of the Day for a Beautiful Woman of the Sea?' But in addition to being a cookbook, it's Coast: how it looks, how it feels, how the interactions with the people there are so soulful and rewarding. It takes a particular kind of person to attract the kinds of magical stories Lauren Birmingham Piscitelli does. And it takes something more to get chefs to give up their recipes. Call this author not only a charming writer, but a sorceress whose company in these pages we are privileged to keep."
