A cookbook and reference resource for most North American and Asian sea vegetables. In it you will find historical, botanical, medicinal and nutritional information, combined with culinary guidelines and accessible recipes (each with a Nutrition Facts breakdown). You will learn how to easily introduce seaweed into your every day cooking — breakfast, lunch and dinner, even snacks.
