Editorial Reviews

Underwritten by Microplane, the company that manufactures a line of kitchen tools, including one of the best (if not the best) lemon zesters/graters available, this cookbook presents 100 recipes from chefs, cookbook authors, and other culinary stars. Contributors include Rick Bayless, Michel Richard, and Charlie Trotter, and the recipes (all of which use a zester/grater for at least one step) are accompanied by minibios and Q&As about their favorite foods and other such matters. With its wide-ranging recipes from an array of talented contributors, the book will appeal to ambitious home cooks-and it's for a worthy cause, too, as Microplane is donating all profits to the National Kidney Foundation. For most collections.
