Oysters (cookbook) The two hundred delectable and creative recipes for oysters.  Also includes every elusive fact and helpful hint, and more than seventy-five quotes by literary lions from Shakespeare to Thurber-as well as gourmands such as Waverly Root and Julia Child. These tidbits make Oysters much more than a cookbook, but a true cooking companion to be savored cover-to-cover.
