"Like all of Waters's Chez Panisse books, this one is lovely to look at...and even more pleasant to read....Waters and company sort through every kind of fruit you've heard of (and some you haven't) and warn you about the varieties that have been ruined by either chemicals or the infelicities of mass production....My only real complaint? In addition to the intuitive and accessible recipes, Waters's book is packed with advice about selecting fruit, yet it's too bulky actually to lug along to your market. All of her books are as much about good shopping as they are about good cooking. How hard would it be for the publisher to tuck a small detachable pamphlet--Alice's Cliffs Notes--into the paperback version?"Waters, Alice is the author of 'Chez Panisse Fruit', published 2002 under ISBN 9780060199579 and ISBN 0060199571.
