About

I simply had to include a recipe for mussels in this book, not just because they pair so beautifully with garlic but because they are an excellent source of protein, iron, selenium, iodine and omega-3, and low in saturated fat to boot! As if that wasn’t enough, they are also cheap, and super quick and easy to cook, so that’s a no brainer for me.
