An engaging and richly illustrated history of the oyster's role in worldwide gastronomy and culture, with 50 recipes
From an editor of the #1 bestselling The Good Food Guide, award-winning writer Drew Smith’s Oyster: A Gastronomic History offers readers 50 delicious recipes plus a global view of the oyster, tracing its role in cooking, art, literature, and politics from the dawn of time to the present day.

The book also includes 50 recipes—traditional country dishes and contemporary examples from some of the best restaurants in the world.
