A nice addition to the seaweed cookbooks is the new book by Malta-born and former chef of Yotam Ottolenghi's 'NOPI', Nicole Pisani. Seaweed has traditionally been an important culinary ingredient in Asia and has recently been rediscovered: cooking with seaweed is a trend worldwide, from California to Cornwall and from Scandinavia to Scotland. Seaweed is one of nature's healthiest products. It is rich in protein, soluble fiber and essential fatty acids, while it is low in calories. In addition, it contains a whole range of antioxidants, is good for the intestines and a good source of minerals. This book explores the history and healthy properties of this versatile ingredient, and of course it also includes recipes for delicious dishes, both sweet and savory, from soups and salads to popcorn, cocktails and skincare products.
