A beautiful compendium of recipes from 101 great cookbooks that span time and encompass many types of cooking, cuisines and ways of eating. I was pleased to see many of my favorites included, such as Patricia Wells and Marcella Hazan. The book opens with a summary of each selected cookbook and scans of interior pages, showcasing the cookbook's unique style. Following are 501 recipes selected from the cookbooks to illustrate what makes them special. If you like to cook broadly and try new cookbooks, you can't go wrong with a compendium like this.
