America's favorite food in the opening decade of the 21st century isn't the hot dog or mom's apple pie -- it is the hamburger in all its variations and diversities! The latest addition to the popular Wiley cookbook series 'Recipe of the Week', veteran cookbook author and hamburger authority Sally Sampson has compiled 52 'kitchen cook friendly' recipes that will provide a different style hamburger every week of the year. Accompanied by the superb full-page sized color photography of Yunnee Kim, each recipe notes how many burgers it will make, a brief word of personalized introduction by Sally, the ingredients for the condiment and the burger it goes on, easy and well presented step-by-step instructions for its preparation. From Beef Burgers with Soy and Lemon; to Curried Chicken Burgers with Chutney; to Spicy Chipotle Turkey Burgers; to Lamb Burgers with Herbs; to Cuban Style Pork Burger, to Caramelized Onion and Chickpea Burgers, this is a fabulous collection of gourmet quality burgers that goes quantum leaps beyond anything a fast food join can turn out. "Recipe Of The Week: Burgers" is a welcome addition to any personal, family, or community specialty cookbook collection. Also very highly recommended are two earlier Wiley cookbook collections by Sally Sampson: "Recipe of The Week: Kabobs" and "Recipe Of The Week: Cookies"!

My husband brought a copy of this burger cookbook home from the library, and we loved the first burger we tried so much, I knew I had to have my own copy. I've been giving this cookbook quite a workout! We have enjoyed every recipe we have tried, and we are looking forward to making them all. Besides being easy to prepare, the burgers are packed with flavor. Some of the burgers are made with beef, but there are also many recipes that use non-traditional ingredients like tuna, pork, salmon, chicken and black beans. Some of our favorites are the Spicy Chipotle Turkey Burgers, the Curried Cheddar Burgers with Chutney and the surprisingly yummy Caramelized Onion and Chickpea Burgers. We like the burgers so much, I also bought Ms. Sampson's Recipe of the Week: Kabobs, too, but that's another review!

I didn't think I was such a burger fan, but I have made many, many recipes from it. Each recipe has been easy to make and excellent. You will find so many delicious variations you will never make a plain burger again!

When I said Burgers of Fashion, they are slightly high brow for me. Actually I am searching for a great tasting burger like the ones I remember from my childhood.
My burgers just leave me flat! SO, thought might be something I might be missing. The book has a ton of fancy burger recipes, however, I am still searching.

I sent this book as a gift and the recipient likes it a lot. Said a couple of the recipes are just weird. But he is a burger aficionado, and so he'll get good use out of it. He is happy with the gift. I put a four star because, come on, you cannot eat a burger every day.

Right? LOL.
