Summary: Collection from multiple sources of Great Recipes
Comment: Here is what some of us do--collect recipes from all kinds of varying sources, sorted through and published in book form.
Tried few recipes thus far, and each lives up to rating: Scallop and Corn Chowder, unique Ricotta Hot Cakes with Honeycomb butter, Port-and-Black-Currant Glazed Chicken Thighs,Roasted Potatoes with Garlic,Lemon and Oregano.
For a different closing meal treat, try "Roasted Apricots with Sugared Pecans and Dulce de Leche. It's simple and sooo sooo good!
Unique--simple--- zipped up kind of cuisine, with outstanding variety of cuisines and sources--- great collection for varying levels of cook levels. Neat feature is wine offerings with each entree suggested.

Summary: HAMLIN AND McCULLOUGH RULE!
Comment: An extraordinary achievement,which in the hands of lesser editors could have been a culinary joke or worse, a disaster. The care that Hamlin and McCullough put into the book is everywhere evident: graceful headnotes for each recipe, and tips about cooking based on real experience not only with these recipes, but a lifetime of food exploration and cultivated taste. A wonderful pastiche of ideas, from fine French chefs to able American home cooks. We have the editors to thank for scanning books, magazines, newspapers and newsletters, the net, and any other print-capable media, to choose these 100+ gems. As an experienced cook, I don't normally work from recipes, but I find myself developing a new discipline in the kitchen: following the recipe to the letter, based on trust and admiration for Hamlin and McCullough. Truly, these are the Best American Recipes. Bravo!

Summary: Best Recipes for Jan 2002 - Oct 2002 ONLY!
Comment: I own The Best American Recipes 1999 & 2000. The recipes I have tried from those books are very good (Pan Roasted Carrots & Creamed Scallions). While I had already made (and loved) some of the other recipes listed from several books in the series (because I have the cookbooks they were pulling them from), I have a huge issue with the newer publication of this seemingly successful book.
How can a book claim to have the best recipes from all the varying resources for 2002 AND 2003... when it was published in October 2002?! I am noticing this in Jan of 2003, while we still have an entire year of new recipes yet to be released... and this book will clearly not have any of them.
Since I cannot give this 2.5 stars (5 for the recipes and 0 for the misleading title), I opted for 3 because despite the title, it's a good book.
