Summary: Hope Realized! Fun Tearing Through This Cookbook!
Review: Tyler writes in his preface: "I hope you have as much fun tearing through this cookbook as my team and I did creating it."Goal reached, Tyler! This cookbook is Tyler! His laid back, easy going, fun loving spirit exudes forth in this recipe collection. Not pretentious food, just good, solid cusine of all types and for all occassions. From sophisticated to the simple, for one or two, to a block party, they're all covered in slightly over 300 pages with four-color, sharp bright energetic photos, and great commentary running: e.g. one of my favs: "Behind every great culture there is a kitchen." Multiple cultures are well represented here, Eastern, Mexican, tropical, Italian, etc. This is well balanced, creative and unique in its style and wide variety of cuisine, with such sections as "Table For Two" "One Pot Wonders".

Summary: Fantastic and user-friendly cookbook!
Review: You won't be intimidated by this wonderful cookbook from Tyler Florence, arguably the most charismatic and talent cooking personality on the Foot Network. The only reason I took off a star from a perfect rating was the mystifying 4 (!) typos I found in the text. Where were his editors for this high-end, glossy bestseller? Hopefully, there won't be any errors when it comes to executing the recipes...which all seem to be incredibly delicious and sensibly written for both the novice and master chef. Bon appetit!
