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.
“A brilliant crusade for the oyster that shows how food has shaped our history, art, literature, lawmaking, culture, and, of course, lovemaking and cuisine.” —Renowned French chef Raymond Blanc
“Drew Smith’s
