Hook it & Cook it Recipe Book

Fairly & squarely aimed at anyone who might need a bit of help in the kitchen when faced with the prospect of cooking freshly caught fish & seafood, Hook it and Cook it is a new edition of Noel Holmes' popular 1960s classic first published as Just Cooking, Thanks.
This collection of Holmes' columns - with the addition of a foreword by well-known journalist Warwick Roger - is as fresh today as the fish he would catch, clean, cook & then write about in his hugely popular Auckland Star column of the 1950s & 60s. He wrote with great dollops of humour & common sense, for example: 'Any tyro who cannot deal with a bucket of scallops or a live crayfish after reading this book just has not been paying attention.'
Now, over 40 years later, his wonderfully informal recipes are still as useful as they ever were. Not least because as well as learning how to make a sauce or poach a fillet or figure out what to do with paua & other shellfish, you'll also be enormously entertained by Holmes' easy writing style, described by Warwick Roger as 'the best columnist this country has had'.
