This Week's Review and Giveaway: Shellfish:The Cookbook Edited by Karen Barnaby
When it comes to the culinary world in the Pacific Northwest, Karen Barnaby is a name that is known well. Vancouver's ever growing food scene has been shaped largely in part because of her passion and extensive influence as well as her ability to teach and be involved with many organizations that encourage those to succeed in the area of culinary arts. As well as sitting on the Board of Directors for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, Karen was also the past president and former Scholarship Director for Les Dames d'Escoffier, an international organization dedicated to nurturing women of distinction in culinary professions.
After starting her career in Ottawa and then moving to Toronto, Karen came to Vancouver in 1991. Since 1995, she has been executive chef at the acclaimed Fish House Restaurant in Stanley Park.
The author of nine cookbooks, including The Low-Carb Gourmet, three books in The Girls Who Dish!, Pacific Passions Cookbook, Screamingly Good Food, and The Passionate Cook, Karen's last publishing accomplishment was editing Halibut: The Cookbook, which was released in the spring of 2006. Her most recent is this week's giveaway - Shellfish: The Cookbook.
Shellfish: The Cookbook, is an indispensible compilation of favorite seafood recipes from Karen’s peers in the culinary industry. We've had a lot of fun trying out a variety of recipes from the book, but our two favorite summer grilling recipes were the Thai Shrimp and Mango Kebabs and the Pesto Shrimp and Scallop Kebabs. Simple, easy to make and delicious!
Shellfish: The Cookbook is available at your favourite local bookstore and at many online retailers such as Chapters Indigo, Amazon Canada and Amazon USA.
