Love the recipes and the lay out of this book. Also nice that main dishes are paired with suggested wines. I'm a big fan of the "Food & Wine" cookbooks.

I love to eat and I'm not that much of a cook in general. I prefer the social interaction at restaurants and supermarkets rather than just cooking for myself. Anyway, this annual cookbook is a great gift to those who prefer to cook. Food & Wine magazine has compiled a yearly edition for fans and readers alike.

The layout is done with pictures of some of the items with some helpful hints regarding products and helpful suggestions. The recipes have been tried and experimented by the magazine staff. While I'm not much of a cook, I would highly recommend this book to those who are amateur or professional chefs to read and use for their own gourmet meals.

The layout of the book is divided into starters, salads, soups, pasta, poultry, beef & lamb, pork & veal, fish, shellfish, vegetables, potatoes, grains & more; breads, pizzas, & sandwiches; breakfast & brunch, pies & fruit desserts, cakes, cookies & more; sauces & condiments; and drinks.

The final appendix of the book is complete with a useful index regardings type of food and an index of the chefs, celebrity and rising stars in the restaurant industry. I think anybody who loves Food & Wine magazine should have a copy of this yearbook to add to their cookbook collection.

I have always enjoyed Food & Wine magazine -- but when I saw this cookbook during an out of town visit at my sister's home in Maryland, I instantly fell in love and wanted one of my own!! I ordered the book from her computer,an could not wait to get home to review the recipes again. Fantastic selection of recipes, something to fit everyone' tastes! Thanks for a wonderful publication, from another up and coming "Great Cook"!!
