Best of the Best, Vol. 4: 100 Best Recipes from the Best Cookbooks of the Year
The latest volume in this attractive series, now in its fourth  year, presents two or more favorite recipes from 27 carefully  selected cookbooks. The first two annual installments grouped  the recipes by book, replicating the formats of the individual  books; here, they are arranged in a more user-friendly fashion,  by course, but color photographs from the winning cookbooks are  still included. All of the recipes were retested in the Food &  Wine kitchens, and "Test Kitchen Tips" are included, as well as  wine recommendations when these did not appear with the original  recipe. Houghton Mifflin's "Best American Recipes" series  includes recipes from magazines, newspapers, and the Internet as  well as cookbooks (but no photographs); both series are worth  having as handy collections of great recipes and, particularly  in the case of the "Food & Wine" series, as an introduction for  some readers to cookbooks they may not have seen.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
