Congratulations to the ladies who thought up the idea of combining the best recipes from cookbooks from every state, then listing the cookbooks they got their recipes from at the back of their own book. Instructions are included on how to purchase the referenced books, with addresses and/or phone numbers, as well as accepted methods of payment. (The prior reviewer didn't make note of this; seems like she has "sour grapes" because she didn't think up the idea herself!) It's a great way to not only sample the best foods from an area, but also "test run" a myriad of cookbooks before you decide whether or not to buy any of them. As usual, a wide range of different recipes was presented, and I have yet to be disappointed in any that I've tried. This is one of my latest additions to my "Best of the Best" collection, and my only disappointment was that, although every area of the State of NY was represented, there weren't more recipes from NYC...but then again, that would be an entire book in itself, which I hope the editors consider adding to their series! My one suggestion is that the editors include the number of servings in every recipe - something that is often overlooked and leaves me guessing.

What a racket these 2 women have. They send out letters of recipe request to restaurants, and authors, put these recipes in their books and reap all the rewards. The chefs, cooks, and cookbook authors used in the book get absolutely nothing for their contributions.
