Summary: And the cookies are to die for!
Comment: I picked up this book because I have baked from Nancy's La Brea Bread Book before and I love her attention to detail. But what sold me was the recipe that the book fell open to:
"Not Nutter Butters". When I read that this was her take on a Girl Scout Cookie that the entire family loves, I just had to check it out.
The cookie was everything I hoped for and even more work than I expected. But worth every hour of it. Now onto "Almost Oreos" for the chocolate lovers in the clan.
Oh, and the sandwiches....simply amazing! Nancy has done it again.

Summary: I guess anybody can publish a cookbook.
Comment: Nancy Silverton does not know what a Croque Madame sandwich is. In fact, she says on the Epicurious website "Why Madame? Because it has an egg of course." Ambrose Bierce defined "positive" as "mistaken at the top of one's voice" and he definitely anticipated Ms. Silverton. A Croque Madame sandwich should be made with CHICKEN while the Monsieur is made with ham - preferably Black Forest. It's a pretty crucial and potentially embarrassing error. How would you like a salad expert to put iceberg lettuce and ranch dressing in her recipe for a Caesar salad?

Summary: Excellent- Very classy and well put together book!
Comment: I just got this book today, and I think it is just superb. I didn't get a chance to look through it thoroughly, but I am already excited just by looking at some of the pictures. They all look so scrumptous. I am really looking forward to this one in particular with "Ham & Creamed Spinach & Leeks". I'm quite inspired by Nancy Silverston's introduction. She explains how she got so into sandwiches when she visited Italy. Just know one thing, this is not a typical sandwich book. I would describe it as high-end, gourmet, and highly likeable by all kind of book. The book is hardcovered, and it seems too pretty for me to bring in my kitchen with me. I am going to try to make at least 1 sandwich every 1-2 weekends. (I'm a busy gal) Great buy for it's price! I suggest you buy if you are interested in investing in a classy, well put together recipe book, not to mention, beautiful pictures. I just love it!!!
