书籍简介

本书以精美的插图颂扬牡蛎的生物学、文化、艺术和风味，是馈赠您生活中的美食家或艺术家的精彩礼物。每个人都会回忆起初次吃牡蛎的滋味，就像他们记得自己的初吻一样。《牡蛎的肖像》深入探索牡蛎壳之外的奥秘，揭示了牡蛎丰富而令人惊奇的世界，以及几个世纪以来受到这种软体动物启发的艺术家、哲学家、探险家和厨师。本书配有全彩绘画、复古广告、线条画和档案照片，作者踏上了一段穿越欧洲和北美品尝世界顶端牡蛎的旅程，分享了关于牡蛎生物学和养殖的有趣见解。

您知道吗？牡蛎在其一生中会多次改变性别。它们只有一块肌肉将两块壳紧紧闭合，心脏和基本的循环系统主要依赖海水——尽管它们没有大脑或已知的神经系统。在法国马雷讷-奥尔莱龙地区——现代牡蛎养殖技术的主要发源地——牡蛎至今仍被认为是世界上超好的牡蛎之一。如同香槟一样，该地区的牡蛎受到地理区分法的保护，有些甚至在牡蛎壳上刻上姓名头一个字母，以维护其声誉。

《牡蛎的肖像》走遍法国、欧洲和北美，品尝了世界上一些好的牡蛎和餐厅，包括英国和哥本哈根，以及波士顿、纽约、新奥尔良和旧金山。本书的精彩亮点包括：全彩绘画、复古广告和档案照片。对牡蛎的生物学、繁殖和养殖进行了引人入胜的深入探讨。

奢华游记，探访知名牡蛎餐厅和牡蛎养殖场。独特的附录：全球牡蛎品种的精彩指南，附有每个品种的图画和描述。

A beautifully illustrated celebration of the biology, culture, art, and taste of oysters?a perfect gift for the foodie or the artist in your life. Everyone recalls eating their first oyster, just like they remember their first kiss ?Portrait of an Oyster delves beyond the shucked shell to reveal the rich and surprising world of the oyster and the artists, philosophers, explorers, and chefs the mollusc has inspired across the centuries. Illustrated with full-colour paintings, vintage advertisements, line drawings, and archival photographs, Portrait of an Oyster shares intriguing insights into the biology and cultivation of oysters as the author embarks on an expedition across Europe and North America to taste some of the world?s best.

Did you know that oysters shift their gender several times over the course of their lifetimes? They have one muscle that keeps their two shells clamped firmly shut, and a heart and basic circulatory system largely dependent on seawater?although they have no brain or known nervous system. In the French region of Marennes-Ol?ron?where much of the technology of modern oysters farming was pioneered?oysters are still considered among the finest in the world. Like champagne, oysters from this region are protected by geographic distinction laws, with some even getting initials lasered into their shells, to preserve their prestige.

Portrait of an Oyster travels across France, Europe, and North America, sampling some of the best oysters and restaurants in the world, including in the UK and Copenhagen, and then Boston, New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco. This book?s stunning features include:Full-colour paintings, vintage advertisements, and archival photographs. Intriguing insights into the biology, reproduction, and cultivation of oysters.

Sumptuous travelogs to renowned oyster restaurants and oyster farms. Unique backmatter: A glorious guide to global oyster varieties, with drawings and descriptions of each specimen.
