Consider the Anchovy: <span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"gv96wm-jojd1c-u0n7i9-yx20r5\" data-cel-widget=\"productTitle\">A journey in pursuit of the little fish with the big flavour is the perfect gift for any food lover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Travelling from Cantabria to California, in this book you will meet the personalities, families and communities whose livelihood depends on the not-so humble anchovy, participating in traditions celebrating the little fish, visiting bars, festivals and even museums devoted exclusively to anchovies. See the flatbottomed barque boats and tightly packed fishermen&#8217;s cottages of Collioure that inspired Matisse, Derain and Fauvism. Meet the film star who made a short film on the sex life of the anchovy. Dig into the preserving traditions of Ancient Greece. Uncork the garum of Ancient Rome and compare it to its modern counterpart, Colatura d&#8217;Alici, aged in bourbon barrels.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside delicious recipes to close each chapter, this book is rich in research, stuffed with maverick, rakish characters and full of flavour. Whether you love them or you hate them, <span class=\"a-text-italic\">Consider the Anchovy<\/span> is both an entertaining odyssey and an unabashedly passionate manifesto that celebrates anchovies with their pungent, complex, umami allure as leading, albeit sometimes unpredictable, movers in world culinary history.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the Anchovy:\u00a0<span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"gv96wm-jojd1c-u0n7i9-yx20r5\" data-cel-widget=\"productTitle\">A journey in pursuit of the little fish with the big flavour<br \/>\nAuthor: Sudi Pigott<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"a-list-item\"> <span class=\"a-text-bold\">Published by: \u200e <\/span> Headline Home<br \/>\nPrice: \u00a319.98<br \/>\n<span class=\"a-text-bold\">ISBN-13 \u200f : \u200e <\/span> 978-1035431212 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A journey in pursuit of the little fish with the big flavour.\u00a0 This is a delightful book by Sudi Pigott uncovering the history of this, in my opinion, underrated fish.
