Best of the Best Vol. 11: The Best Recipes from the 25 Best Cookbooks of the Year

by Dana Cowin (Editor), Kate Heddings (Editor)

Almost one million subscribers heartily agree: "Food & Wine" is the unrivaled leader in the field--and every year the magazine's editors search tirelessly for the most delectable dishes from the creme de la creme of cookbooks. Here are their selections, along with an extra treat: some special and previously unpublished recipes. It comes to more than 100 fully kitchen-tested, temptingly photographed dishes in all, taken from the 25 best books of the year. And the food doesn't come better than this. There are recipes from Jean-Georges Vongerichten's "Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges," Jamie Oliver's "Cook with Jamie," Bobby Flay's "Mesa Grill Cookbook," Alice Waters's "The Art of Simple Food," Giada De Laurentiis's "Everyday Pasta," and many more. Along with these fantastic choices, there are also another 20 bonus, never-been-published recipes from almost every author, plus great tips from the "Food & Wine" test kitchen.

Some seem interesting, others smack of "oooh! let's use THIS weird ingredient, just cause!" Nothing made me want to run out and buy any of the featured cookbooks, and only one recipe really stood out to me as something to make. Yawn.

Go hum .. A few good recipes and a cursory view into the chefs who inspired them, but hardly worth the purchase price and certainly not much better than a google search.
