The story of Mussels starts with "the humble mussel, a shellfish so unassuming that the impact it had on the two of us was quite unexpected," as the authors—the "Kilted Chef" Alain Bossé and his good friend "Mussel Mama" Linda Duncan—of this book say. When these two met, they discovered they shared an identical passion: to get the word about this sensational seafood out to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. This cookbook, Mussels, is the satisfying result.
