Publisher's Note Wrap It Up provides 100 great recipes, with ingredients from regional cuisines all over the world - Thai, Mexican, Italian, Japanese, Southwestern, and more. The flavors may be from far away, but the ingredients are not; most of them can be found at the nearest grocery store. Home cooks will learn what a snap it can be to create simple, flavor-packed, one-handed meals, such as Pesto Chicken Wrap with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon Spirals, Athenian Lamb Gyro with Tzatziki, even revised editions of old standbys like Caesar salad, reinterpreted as the Et Tu Brute Roll. Wrap It Up will be the kitchen muse for any busy home cook who wants recipes that are tasty, healthy, portable, economical, and totally fresh.
Industry Reviews Wraps are one of the latest culinary trends, turning up on the menus of upscale restaurants and hotly promoted at fast-food outlets. Each of these books offers 100 imaginative recipes for these "new" sandwiches, from Thai Cucumber and Pork Wraps (Brown) to Wrap-tatouille (Cotler) to Bananas Foster Roll Ups (Brown). Brown's collection is somewhat more unusual, including separate chapters on breakfast/brunch and dessert wraps; Cotler has a longer introduction, on techniques and ingredients, and includes low-fat variations and make-ahead tips with most recipes. But there's little overlap between the two, and each has its own appeal. If you want just one, the first choice is probably Brown's All Wrapped Up, with its somewhat more diverse types of wraps; larger collections could add both titles. Chafe
