I hope this will be of assistance to those people. Now, back to my search.

Fortunately, I am a fisherperson with a vacuum sealer and a freezer, so I can indulge my passion all year. I'll bet a seafood bisque might go down easily too. Good luck!

Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 59 | Just rec'd my copy of the cook book, has a fair amount of info on swallowing. The book also has quite a few recipes that sound pretty good. Will cook some of them here pretty soon.

| Hey Mike,
Have you had a chance to try any of the recipes?? I'm thinking of ordering this book myself, since we are so big on soups and stews in this house. Desserts, too.
Are they more down home or gourmet?
Any info appreciated?
Take care,

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back, but just haven't been on for a week. I have tried some of the recipes and they were good.
