Praise for Crab

Praise for Salty Snacks by Cynthia Nims:

"In the centuries-old squabble between sweet and salty, I've always sided with the latter and simply love this entire compendium. Cynthia Nims has created the definitive handbook to snackage perfectly tailored to the salty dog I am. Complete with history, definitions, and recipes, Salty Snacks is comprehensive, inventive, and destined for much use in the Batali kitchen." —Mario Batali, chef, author, and cohost of The Chew
