Reviews“[Bob Kinkead] is obviously a seasoned pro, standing in his open kitchen with a headset on, conducting his very large and very busy restaurant. His standards are high: The fish is the best available, the wine list is exceptional, and dishes are elaborate . . .” —Gourmet, naming Kinkead's one of the 50 Best American Restaurants“Bob's food combines a clarity of flavor with classic technique, yielding a cuisine that is as unique and straightforward as the man himself. Keep this book on the kitchen shelf—you'll be reaching for it often.” —Chris Schlesinger, chef at East Coast Grill “Bob Kinkead's cookbook reflects his warm but no-nonsense personality and style: he intelligently tells it like it is, without being arrogant or condescending, while providing the best advice I've read on how to choose great fish and seafood. Following his recipes should allow any experienced home cook to prepare delicious seafood and other dishes that are second only to eating at Kinkead's.” —Bruce Aidells, author of Bruce Aidells's Complete Sausage Book “Bob Kinkead is a chef's chef—a leader and an innovator. His new book reflects refined technique and genuine respect for ingredients. This wonderful collection of contemporary American classics from one of America's great chefs is a must for seafood lovers.” —Ben and Karen Barker, chefs at Magnolia Grill “Bob Kinkead embodies the very best of American cuisine. He is both fiercely willful and generously loyal—traits that you'll quickly observe at his restaurant and in KINKEAD'S COOKBOOK. Bob has built on his rustic New England roots, examined the cuisines of the world, and become America's premier interpreter of seafood. This book illustrates the kind of cooking mastery that all chefs aspire to and that very few attain.” —Louis Osteen, chef at Louis's at Pawley's “Reading through KINKEAD'S COOKBOOK is like having a late-night drink with the man himself. Bob's voice is crystal clear—authoritative, passionate, and a little eccentric. The cookbook has a great deal of depth, with terrific recipes for meats, salads, side dishes, and desserts, but the stars are Bob's brilliant seafood dishes, many of which are as renowned as his wonderful restaurant. This is a powerful cookbook by an extraordinary chef.” —Jasper White, author of 50 Chowders and Lobster at Home
