Edible Brooklyn

Book excerpt: "Brooklyn, New York is a foodie destination, but not a snobby one, and this cookbook follows suit. It is filled with unpretentious recipes from the locals--artisans and chefs and ordinary folk--who love their New York borrow and go out of their way to celebrate the vast array of local foods produced there. And, like the eclectic population--Italian, Asian, Polish, Mexican, you name it-- you never know what you are going to find when you turn the page. The fun comes in reading about the contributor, finding out what that person does, then seeing what they have created. Even the chapters are a little bit unusual. When was the last time you saw one for fingerfood, pickles, and sides? Part travel guide, part cookbook, part great read, this book, the first in a series of FOUR Edible cookbooks, offers a front row seat to one of American's most exciting food fests"--
