Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I have mixed feelings about cookbooks that are compendiums of other books and magazines because there is the sense that you can get all the material at other sources, often in sources that are already available to you. The Bon Appetit Cookbook is one such book, with 1,200 "best-loved recipes" from the magazine. On one hand, the recipes are excellent and you can be assured that have all been tested again and again by editors, cooks and readers. In short, it is a pretty reliable book and it is convenient to have everything in one volume. On the other hand, if you enjoy scouring Epicurious for recipes and reading the feedback from users every time you cook, you will not get that same satisfaction from the book.
To differentiate it from the site, the book has plenty of illustrations and lots of cooking tips to help you through even the most complicated recipes. To help push you over the edge of indecision when it comes to making the purchase, because a tangible cookbook is a wonderful thing, the price of the book includes a one year subscription to Bon Appetit. As of writing this, the Amazon.com price is $23.07 - definitely a good price for the set.

I just bought this book. I haven't had much time to look through it yet, but I do think it looks good. I love your cookbook of the day! (Of course I'm a major cookbook fiend, it's something of an addiction.)
