The Keys can confidently boast that nowhere else in the continental US will you find fresher, more innovatively prepared fish and seafood.

Be it a roadside cafe or a resort dining room, the cuisine is all "Keys casual." With 80 recipes for the home cook from Florida's most celebrated eateries and showcasing over 200 full-color photos featuring mouth-watering dishes, famous chefs, and lots of local flavor, Florida Keys & Key West Chef's Table is the ultimate gift and keepsake cookbook for both tourists and residents of the Keys.

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! -- Mary Moccia, Food Blogger, http://marykeys.wordpress.com, Duck Key, FL
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. -- Cathy Keller, Owner, Hooked on Books, Islamorada, FL
