Food & Wine 2009 Annual Cookbook

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 an entire year of 2008 recipes--more than 600 of them--accompanied by over 250 scrumptious-looking photographs.

The contributors remain absolutely stellar: the culinary world`s finest, including such cookbook authors, chefs, and food luminaries as Jacques Pepin, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Paula Wolfert, and Al Roker.

Mouthwatering dishes from Emeril Lagasse, Mario Batali, and Thomas Keller were tested on home appliances, making them easy to re-create. In addition, the volume includes 50 brand-new test-kitchen tips, as well as an extensive glossary of accessible wines. Here are recipes that reflect the many ways we cook today; real food that real people who want to eat well can actually prepare.

These exceptionally clear recipes will enable you to create impressive, restaurant-style dishes in your own kitchen.
