Fun With Seafood: See Food & Eat It, Coobook
An abundance of available seafood is taken for granted in many locations that abut the seashore. For the rest of us, we have to make do with the local "catch". This does not mean that we should not consider seafood as a viable alternative to the standard bill of faire. Virtually everywhere shrimp and prawns are available at a reasonable cost, and they make for great seafood recipes. This cookbook intends to bring some of those treats to those looking for new meals. While many of the recipes call for shrimp, other shellfish can usually be substituted for a change of pace Some of the included recipes have been handed down from my mother's great playbook. Another few of them have been graciously donated by friends. Others have simply evolved from my being lazy. I remember from my days at IBM, a client having said that I was the laziest person he had met. He went on to explain that he meant that I would spend an hour figuring out how to save five minutes a day. He also knew that in the long run this was not a bad thing. So it is my propensity for not wanting to spend any more time on a project than is necessary that is the impetus for this cookbook. Over time I have accumulated a number of recipes that are conducive to being prepared in a single vessel, and I have reworked others to fit into this pattern. The result is a cookbook that simplifies food preparation and reduces the arduous and annoying cleanup to (usually) a single pot or pan, and possibly a serving dish. And while this thesis may occasionally stretch the word classic, we are not talking about hotdogs embedded with cheese and covered with chili.

About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kip Koehler

Kip, though retired, is still an active author, construction consultant, and computer systems engineer. He and his wife Cheri, moved to Prescott AZ in 2002 where they built their custom home. Its highly creative design was subsequently highlighted in the local paper. The home's most unusual features are its "wine cave" and a "New Orleans" rooms.
While they both love Prescott and their new friends, they do miss the California ocean, and try to return regularly for a seaside fix. As Cheri puts it: "There is no ocean in Arizona."
Kip's computer background dates back to working for IBM in the late 60's. He purchased one of the first PCs off of the production line about 1980, and has been addicted to them ever since. Eventually as a consultant he developed financial software for IBM's clients and then for national sales. Fortunately for Cheri today, he can fix her computer problems rather quickly.
Cooking has been a long standing interest with Kip, as reflected in his wide variety of cookbooks. Being somewhat unwilling to do excess work, they mirror that disposition in recipes that focus on easy cooking and clean-up.
Another of Kip's interests is the nature of nature, both scientific and metaphysical. This curiosity is reflected in several of the book offerings.
The books and booklets can be purchased for Kindle™ and Nook™ readers at amazon.com and other sites. The 6x9 inch paperback format of the books are available at createspace.com.
If you are interested in hiring a freelance writer or editor, I am available by the job or $35 per hour. By the job is $1 per word for a well-defined project. Editing is $.10 per word in Word format.
