Review Quotes:
"They've been feeding people forever, but oysters are still intimidating to home cooks. Let's hope that ends here. The Joy of Oysters not only tells the story of oysters, it also shows you how to shop for them and--most important--gives you the tools and the confidence to use these beautiful bivalves in your own kitchen."-- Brad Leone, New York Times bestselling author and video host

Review Quotes:
"Inside the ruffled, rocklike armor of an oyster's shell hide endless stories: of biology, of ecology, of history, of art, of flavor, of recipes, and so much more. This book is, miraculously, the same, packed with everything an oyster lover could ever want--or need--to know."-- Daniel Gritzer, culinary director, Serious Eats

Whether you're eating your first oyster (hurry up already!) or are an oyster lover like me, Nils's book will teach you all you need to know about the oyster, including all the delicious ways to eat them!"-- Renee Erickson, chef and owner of the Walrus and the Carpenter
