Product Description

Since the original Best of the Best from Florida Cookbook was released in 1986, hundreds of wonderful new cookbooks have evolved from Florida's diverse cuisine. So many, in fact, that the editors felt Florida should be revisited with the release of a brand-new cookbook featuring a completely new collection of the most popular recipes from the Sunshine State's leading cookbooks. Best of the Best from Florida offers such delightful recipes as tender, flaky Baked Snapper Fillets, zesty Sandpipers Onion Tart, and refreshing Key Lime Rum Pie.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor representation for the State of Florida!, April 2, 2009

By	DLK "Luv2Read&Knit" (Florida) - See all my reviews

Being a Florida native since 1957 ... this is a poor representation of Florida cuisine. Very few items in this cookbook have anything to do with what I consider to be "Florida cuisine". I'm donating my book to the library, as I didn't find any recipes in the book worth keeping (that I didn't already have).
