Review: Not just a cookbook, an experience!

I absolutely love this cookbook and have plans to make my own salami this weekend!  But it's more than a cookbook ... from the jokes to the anecdotes, Cowles brings deli alive from the first page to the last.  I am fortunate to have friends who have initiated me into proper deli and Cowles clearly knows the real thing.  To have these recipes is a genuine jewel.  My only disappointment (and not rating the reduction of a star) was that I was really looking forward to a kippered salmon recipe as I prefer that to lox or nova, so I guess that makes me (and some of my friends) non-standard deli patrons.  Regardless, great cookbook that is also an entertaining read.  Thanks for that!
