A Can of Tuna:
The Complete Guide to Cooking With Tuna

by Andy Black

Poor old tuna! It's the ugly duckling of the culinary world ranking down there with bologna sandwiches, frozen pot pies, and casseroles that come in a box. The general feeling seems to be-throw a lettuce leaf and tomato at it and then apologize. This is unfortunate. Tuna, and more specifically canned tuna, is inexpensive, universally available and has a wonderful flavor. It is high in protein, low in fat and calories-and, as if this weren't enough, it is also immensely versatile. By way of proof writer and avid cook Andy Black offers with almost a hundred tuna recipes from all over the world ranging from soups to pasta salads to casseroles pats to fondues.
