I received this review copy from NetGalley today and have been going through it all day! I'm impressed by the level of recipes and will admit that many have ingredients that are not easily obtained, although easier to find now than when many of the recipes were first printed in the Post, and probably are more complicated than the average cook will want to try. However, if you cook like I do (which is try a recipe once then change it all around to make it mine) you will love these recipes for the inspiration they give your regular cooking even if you don't use them verbatim. The history of where the recipe came from, the response, the background on the column and the various chefs that wrote for the column is all very interesting and is not only in the introduction but throughout the book on each recipe where they give a little introduction to the recipe and the where (ie restaurant) and who invented it. The photos are wonderful and make you hungry which in itself can be inspirational.
