I had high hopes for this book after seeing excerpts from it in my Food & Wine Best of the Best book, but it wasn't that great. First off the introduction just made me want to gag because of how conceited he sounds. The recipes were so-so, except for the amazing artichoke sausage dish that I already had a recipe for. Glad I borrowed this from the library and didn't buy it afterall.

Oh Tyler. I want to marry you. This book is full of what it claims to be about. Simple cooking with global flavors. I love that he has recipes right up front for sauces, aioles, and spices, and I can't WAIT to try out his panzanella recipe. Mmmmmm.

Tyler Florence annoys the hell outta me - but I like his cooking. This is a beautiful book and I'll be cooking from it. I just don't want to hear Tyler's cocky lil voice in my head as I do it.

This is so elaborate! There are recipes within recipes! Great when you want to cook for a few days to make one meal! Hehe!

This book isn't very practical for a mid-westerner. I am not going to find fresh crab or octopus anywhere near here. This book is mostly full of food porn, food that is good to look at and eat (at a restaurant), but you wouldn't make at home. However, there are several recipes that suite my fancy, like the Yellow Butter cake with Red Fruits.

I enjoyed Real Kitchen more. This one was a little more exotic, but not necessarily wholly authentic. That doesn't mean the recipes aren't good. It all depends on how "real" you need to be.

Some great receipes. Great pictures to show you what your receipe should look like. I need to do more receipes. I made this scallop ceviche and it was tough, but a good receipe.

I hate Tyler Florences vain look at me strut pictures, but the recipes are really good. He has a yummy asian noodle dish in here.
