Mussels Cookbook | An Homage In 50 Recipes

For twenty-five years, acclaimed Dutch chef Sergio Herman perfected his craft in his family’s humble mussel restaurant, Oud Sluis—transforming it into a culinary legend and earning three Michelin stars by 2005. The flavors of those years still linger with him, and in this cookbook, he pays tribute to mussels—his beloved “black gold.”

Inside, you’ll find fifty irresistible mussel recipes from around the globe—both timeless and boldly inventive. Think mussel and ricotta–stuffed cannelloni, grilled monkfish with mussel béarnaise, zesty marinades, crisp pickles, delicate steam preparations, and golden-fried bites of pure comfort. Sergio also includes complementary side dishes, sauces, and drink pairings to round out every meal.

From the briny aroma of freshly steamed mussels to the satisfying crunch of fried ones, each recipe reveals a new way to experience this versatile shellfish—and makes a strong case for why mussels deserve a place in every kitchen.
