The best and easiest seafood cookbook May 14, 2010
D. Baldwin (Washington)
I have used this cookbook for several years & order copies to give to friends. It is by far the best & easiest cookbook, the sauces are amazing! Jake's three berry cobbler is quick and a perfect dessert for entertaining guests.

Anyone who has eaten out much in Portland or Seattle knows about the McCormick and Schmick chain of restaurants. Jake's, their flagship restaurant, is a longstanding Portland tradition. This small, beautifully illustrated cookbook presents some of their chefs' favorite recipes. The emphasis in the recipes, as in the actual restaurant, is on freshness and on locally available ingredients. There is an innovative flair to many of the recipes, although the classics are here as well. There are probably more recipes for shellfish than for fish proper. The dishes range from appetizers, soups and salads through pastas and entrees. There are even some dessert recipes to finish off the meal. Three Berry Cobler anyone? In terms of actual recipes, I will admit to having eaten more of the dishes in the restaurant than to having cooked them myself. A couple of the recipes I tried didn't turn out as well as I thought they would, although that may be my fault for "adapting" them a bit. Nonetheless, several of my favorite fish recipes come from this book: the Sole Parmesan (a little tricky to do right, but worth it) and the Orange Roughy with Candied Kiwi-Ginger sauce (works well with salmon) are keepers. The only true warning I would give for using this book is that it's not for the cholesterol-challenged. Many of the recipes are rich in butter and cream--maybe that's what makes them so good.
Simply the finest you will find June 24, 2002

It is difficult to appreciate with words, the overarching quality and class of Jake's establishment's in Portland.
Having been to both, I cannot say enough. Orange roughy,
so memorable that now, 6 years later, I can remember this particular dish. Anyhow, I've made the chowder from this cookbook, back when I was in Portland, and it was so fantastic that the we all concluded it was one of the finest dishes the palate could behold. Just unbelievable texture and flavor.
Does anyone know the recipe for their chocolate torte cake?
I don't believe they'll ever let that one out into the public domain, for the entire world would well go mad with joy.
Perhaps we could use a bit of this just now. Buy the book!!
Great Cookbook March 9, 2002
I have had this cookbook for many years. I had a dinner party and my Aunt loved the pasta dish, so I am ordering her a copy (I hope I can now get my copy back from her)
You'll love the the tuni recipe.
