Oysters Praise for

A Celebration in the Raw

“The authors’ deep love and knowledge and the incredible photography cast the oyster in an even more beguiling light. Truly a work of passion and art.” —Barton Seaver, author of the best-selling Cod and Country “Oysters are back, and luckily writer Marion Lear Swaybill and Chef Jeremy Sewall are here to celebrate one of the few food groups chefs are happy to leave alone, knowing they are best eaten cold and raw.” —Eli Zabar “It is at once a field guide and an eater’s companion. The ­marvelous photographic gallery would by itself be enough, but this is ever so much more. Truly a pearl.” —Nach Waxman, Kitchen Arts & Letters
