Description
Ever wonder why oysters have starred alongside poets, presidents, and pirates? Oyster: A Gastronomic History by Drew Smith pulls back the shell on their briny saga, from ancient Roman feasts to roaring ’20s supper clubs. We picked this Abrams treasure because it pairs 50 irresistible recipes with stories that make every shuck a revelation. You’ll whip up grilled oysters slathered in garlic butter, zingy mignonette, or smoky bacon toppings, all while learning shucking tricks from global oyster beds and their cameos in art and power plays. It’s your ticket to hosting epic raw bars or savoring solo indulgences with a side of history. Crack it open, grab a fresh dozen, and dive in.
