What an exquisite collection! Not only do you get great recipes, you also get to learn the stories behind them and get a glimpse of the author/chef's life and love of food. Bill Smith presents fresh foods based on the season and advises to take advantage of local produce for optimum flavor. He will be missed.
This is a cookbook I reviewed for a magazine. If you live in North Carolina, especially in the Chapel Hill region, check this one out - it's written by the chef at Crook's Corner.
