About The Book

Surrounded by water, the Florida Keys yields a bounty that easily could qualify as the eighth wonder of the world. The Keys can confidently boast that nowhere else in the continental US will you find fresher, more innovatively prepared fish and seafood. Special natural resources, from stone crabs and yellowtail snapper to cracked conch and key limes, are served any way you like and the relaxed atmosphere of theS restaurants is reflected in the cuisine. Be it a roadside cafe or a resort dining room, the cuisine is all “Keys casual.”

– Deborah Hartz-Seeley, South Florida Food Writer

As a full time resident of the Florida Keys for the last 21 years, I have never come across a cookbook such as Florida Keys & Key West Chef's Table. It not only captures the essence of the Keys, it captures the finest culinary experiences you can have here as both a visitor and a resident. As a local who considers herself a ‘foodie,’ I can unequivocally say that each of the restaurants and chefs in this cookbook are the real thing and the road trip down US 1 from Key Largo to Key West should require a stop in each restaurant to sample the dish. Then you can replicate it at home for your guests and family––a double bonus! Outstanding!

A celebration of the Conch Republic's kitchen elite! Having frequented many of these restaurants, I consider this an essential cookbook, travel guide, and souvenir for lovers of the Keys and its provincial cuisine.
