I Love Crab Cakes!: 50 Recipes for an American Classic
Author: Tom Douglas
Where do you get the best crab cakes? Ask one hundred different people and you'll likely get one hundred different answers. Some swear by classic Chesapeake Bay crab cakes, and some by spicy Creole crab cakes, while others maintain that Pacific Northwest crab cakes can't be beat. In I Love Crab Cakes!, award-winning chef and cookbook author Tom Douglas brings the best of East, West, and Gulf coasts to the table and proves that the most delicious crab cakes of all come straight from your home kitchen.
Tom thoroughly examines every thorny, crab cake–related issue. Bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, panko, or no crumbs at all? What kind of crabmeat: Dungeness, king, or Peeky Toe? Are the best crab cakes pan-fried, deep-fried, or not even cooked?
Tom offers up dozens of his famous crab cake recipes, including classic crab cakes from East and West, North and South, plus newer innovations such as Wild Ginger Crab Cakes, Pesto Risotto Crab Cakes, and Crab Louie Cheesecakes. There are crab cake sandwiches, breakfast crab cakes, and crab cake sauces and salsas.

Douglas, the chef/owner of half a dozen restaurants in Seattle (including Etta's and Dahlia Lounge), previously authored two appealing cookbooks. He grew up in Delaware, and when he moved to Seattle several decades ago, he couldn't believe crab cakes were nowhere to be found. But, as he writes, he soon "fixed that!" Presented here are the recipes for his favorite crab cakes-those he serves at his restaurants or makes at home-along with some contributed by chef friends. There are classics and "global/new wave" crab cakes, crab-cake sandwiches, crab cakes for brunch, and crab-cake cousins like Poblano Crab Rellenos, along with sauces and salsas. Highly recommended for area libraries and any collections where seafood cookbooks and/or Douglas's earlier books are popular. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
