This beautiful cookbook is divided into two main sections: The Savories and The Sweets. With such a great selection of recipes in this book everyone should be able to find something that awakens the taste buds. I love that Anderson gives a little introduction before each and every recipe. Sometimes she gives additional tips for the recipe or just a little antidote on how the recipe...” --heath67013

One of the joys of living in or near New York City is that you can visit all of the different buroughs and try amazing food prepared by the city’s large immigrant population. While some areas are a longer subway ride than others, they all seem to be worth the extra trip. This is especially true of Brooklyn, which is having a renaissance of sorts, with some incredible...” --prtybrd

Being born and brought up in Maine, we made an occasional sojourn to the southern part of our eastern seaboard. When we did, I remember, we seemed to eat at those chain restraints that offer a watered down version of the local cuisine that would appeal to most travelers. That was what I grew up thinking southern cooking was. Kentucky Fried Chicken was the best the south had...” --JustPJ

Southern food is experiencing somewhat of a renaissance at the moment, and part of this new fascination can probably be linked to Hugh Acheson. At his restaurant, Five and Ten in Athens, Georgia, Hugh takes Southern traditional specialties and puts a creative culinary spin on them that elevates them to the kind of food you'd expect at a fancy restaurant. I haven't been to the...” --prtybrd

First impressions first: Cooking Closer to Home: A Year of Seasonal Recipes is full of well composed photographs of beautiful dishes, but they suffer from poor print quality. It may be of interest to know that they chose to use an environmentally responsible publisher, which is in line with the message...” --Nicholas Beebe

When you pick up a cookbook, do you open it with all the enthusiasm of opening the refrigerator when looking for a late night snack? So often this happens to me, because I am used to opening a cookbook only to be disappointed with what is inside. The Maine Summers Cookbook did not disappoint me; in fact, it may have rekindled the old cooking flames...” --JustPJ

When I first look at a cookbook, I like to flip from back to front for an overview, in reverse as it were, of what’s inside. For me, it’s more hands-on than a glance at the table of contents.
As I perform my ritual back-flip thus with Hot and Spicy: Fiery Favorites from America's Hot Spots, before anything else I am taken with the bold, colorful photos of festive fare on every...” --GourmetM

I was feeling neighborly, so when the family next door broke the news that they were moving, I asked if there was anything I could do to help. Next thing I knew, I was knee-deep in a larder full of books. “Take as many as you like,” urged my neighbor Louise, “you’ll be doing us a huge favor.” It was a veritable treasure trove of books on cooking that had been stashed away for decades and,...” --GourmetM

Mike Colameco’s Food Lover’s Guide To NYC is possibly the best written guide on the market. But be prepared to do your homework to get the most use out of Colameco's recommendations.
What sets this book apart from other travel guides is Colameco's credentials within the industry and his personal experiences with each restaurant listed. He describes the...” --BenRias
