Summary: The one book I'd take to a desert island
Review: This is the one cookbook I'd take with me to a desert island! The recipes are tropical and amenable to island living. Many involve cooking in palm tree leaves and the like, so it would be a natural in the hot sun. But even if I were staying home, this would be the one cookbook I'd keep if I had to give away the 99 others. I figure I can "wing it" if I'm cooking normal American food, but the recipes in this book are so creative and far out, that I'd never come up with this stuff without help! This book is awesome! I can't believe that it's out of print!

Summary: The greatest of alllll tiiiime!!!!!!!!
Review: When I was in culinary school, this book was a true inspiration. This is not just a cookbook. There is much more to the text than recipes and ingredients. What these two men have created is a book that represents a philosophy of food and life. I have used the ideas and techniques in my professional life, but have also embraced the soul of this masterwork and have shared it with family and friends alike. Buy this book if you love food, life and good friends. Also, buy The Thrill of the Grill, simply the best grilling book ever.
