Author: Food Wine Magazin

Almost one million subscribers heartily agree: Food & Wine is the unrivaled leader in the field, and every year their editors search tirelessly for the most delectable dishes from the crème de la crème 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 Here are their selections, along with an extra treat: some special and previously unpublished recipes.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. And the food doesn’t come better than this. There are recipes from Jamie Oliver’s Jamie’s Italy, Daniel Boulud’s Braise, Giada DeLaurentiis’s Giada’s Family Dinners, and Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa at Home, and many more. Along with the fantastic dishes, there are more than 20 bonus, never-before-published recipes from almost every author, plus great tips from the Food & Wine test kitchen.

Library Journal

The editors at Food & Wine started with 250 cookbooks published last year from which they selected 25 titles. Then the best recipes from those particular cookbooks were chosen for the Best of the Best. Among the titles included in this ninth collection are Paula Wolfert's splendid The Cooking of Southwest France, Judith Sutton's delicious Sweet Gratitude, and Marc Meyer and Peter Meehan's captivating Brunch-a selection that results in an excellent balance between international and American cooking, as well as a practical assortment of both sweet and savory recipes. At least four different recipes from each cookbook are incorporated, and many of the contributing cookbook authors were also persuaded to provide a "never-before-published recipe." This work shares a similar focus with Frances Monson McCullough and Molly Stevens's The Best American Recipe Series, but by concentrating on individual cookbooks, the Food & Wine editors are able to offer readers a terrific taste of the distinctive flavor of each title that made the cut.
