CONSIDER THE ANCHOVY (HB)

In Consider the Anchovy, food journalist and anchovy lover Sudi Pigott goes on a journey of discovery to find out more about the little fish with the big flavour. Travelling from Cantabria to California, she introduces the personalities, families and communities whose livelihood depends on the not-so humble anchovy, participating in traditions celebrating the little fish, visiting bars, festivals and even museums devoted exclusively to anchovies. Alongside delicious recipes to close each chapter, this book is rich in research, stuffed with maverick, rakish characters. Whether you love them or you hate them, this is both an entertaining odyssey and an unabashedly passionate manifesto that celebrates anchovies with their pungent, complex, umami allure as leading, albeit sometimes unpredictable, movers in world culinary history.
