JT Parker writes cookbooks for people who'd rather be on the water than in the kitchen. After years of hauling in catfish, crappie, walleye, and whatever else was biting, JT got tired of recipes that treated fish as an afterthought; bland, overcooked, and forgettable. Each cookbook is built around a specific catch, with straightforward recipes anglers can actually pull off after a long day on the boat: minimal fuss, real ingredients, and techniques that respect the fish instead of drowning it in sauce. When not testing recipes, JT is probably still fishing.
