While crab cakes are far from my favorite food, they are something that most people love and you can never go wrong by making a batch for a group of friends. What constitutes the best, or the ultimate, crab cake is a topic of serious discussion among connoisseurs. Bread crumbs or not? Broiled or fried? I Love Crab cakes contains dozens of recipes for crab cakes, examining variations that you might never have considered. Does it answer the question of the ultimate crab cake? Not exactly. Personal preference varies too much to pick one recipe out among the rest, but you are pretty much guaranteed to find at least one that strikes your fancy. You'll also learn the nuances of crab cake-making, a task that is not as difficult as you might think.
HarperCollins, the publisher, has two sample recipes on their website: Smoked Salmon Crab Cakes and Crab Cake Sandwich with Fennel Mayo.
