Summary: this is THE ultimate cookbook, great recipes, great food
Review: Actually, I can't believe you don't have this book yet. The hotel that I work for already has a copy and I have been "chomping at the bit" for my own personal copy. I have secretly made copies of some of my favorite recipes, and let me tell you, they have turned out FABULOUS. When are you going to get this book?

Summary: My favorite cookbooks
Review: I have this edition of the Food & Wine annual as well as the previous two editions, and they are typically the first cookbooks I turn to when I'm in need of a recipe. The Food & Wine annuals are nice because the recipes always taste great, are well written, and are much easier to locate than sorting through magazine clippings. In addition, the annual incorporates many of the tips included in the magazine such as how to make a successful merengue, etc.

Despite the breadth of well-loved recipe books on my shelf, Food & Wine is especially useful because it presents a wide range of dishes from classics to regional cuisine, desserts to barbecues and appetizers. The only reason I don't have the most recent editions is because my dad stopped purchasing the annuals, and I didn't know where to find them until today! You can be sure I'll be picking up both the 2000 and 2001 editions of this great compilation.
