Oyster: A Gastronomic History (with Recipes) Kindle Edition

Great book for anyone who truly enjoys and adores oyster.Would have been more enjoyable and easier to read if it had been published using a sans serif font.

My husband liked this as a gift. He loves to eat oysters. I didn't really buy it for the recipes, but it is an added bonus. Wish I could find a similar book on the Maryland Crab...

As a fledgling oyster farmer this book had great readability and I loved the recipes from antiquity! Gave 4 stars only because the Maryland was not listed in the notable location for oysters. Pressing on...

Simply perfect! Very in style right now!

Awesome book but came damaged.

this was a gift for my dad and he LOVED it. its packed with very cool information and recipes. I gave it to him for christmas and now I want one myself so I may just do that :-)

This book is awesome with a bunch of neat history and recipes throughout.

Abrams has treated the history of Oysters very nicely.

This is enthusiastically written but the author does too many things at once. A lively history (but he gets very muddled the farther back he goes to no great value). Secondly the book is heavily weighted to a US audience; quite good on Britain but sketchy on Europe, even France, but especially the Mediterranean; from Sete to Corsica and the Adriatic are ignored but these are for most British readers a natural area for holiday oyster eating. There is a lot of material on the US.

A beautiful and extremely well-researched book; however, please note that much of it appears to be a re-working of Drew Smith's 2010 book "Oyster A World History" with recipes added in case, like me, you already own that. That said, I am thoroughly enjoying reading it again in the revised form

Love it.

Good
