Food & Wine Annual Cookbook 2008

Author: Dana Cowin

Almost one million subscribers heartily agree: there’s always something delicious going on in Food & Wine. And it’s all here in the annual cookbook, which includes every recipe published in the magazine during 2007 more than 600 of them accompanied by scrumptious-looking photographs. The contributors remain absolutely stellar, cuisine’s finest, including such cookbook authors, chefs, and food luminaries as Jacques Pepin, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Paula Wolfert, and Al Roker. Plus, this year’s volume is organized seasonally, so it’s even easier to find the right recipe for the right occasion. Mouthwatering dishes like Emeril Lagasse’s Shrimp-and-Corn Bisque, Mario Batali’s T-Bone Fiorentina with Sautéed Spinach, and Thomas Keller’s Over-the-Top Mushroom Quiche were tested on home appliances, making them easy to re-create and delicious to eat. In addition, the volume includes 50 brand-new test-kitchen tips, as well as an extensive glossary of accessible wines. Here’s real food that real people who want to eat well can actually prepare; recipes that reflect the many ways we cook today.
