Appreciating Oysters
“In a world in which the artisan is far too rare, what could be more fun than exploring Dana Deskiewicz’s Appreciating Oysters, with no two oysters alike. Personally, I go for ‘eye-opening brine explosions’ but there are lots of other choices, and that is the pleasure of this book.”
– Mark Kurlansky, author of "The Big Oyster – History on the Half Shell"
