The All-Star Cookbook

I really enjoyed this cookbook, not only because of the recipes, but also the way it was designed. You can look up individual dishes in the back, most of which are creative spins on favorite meals, or you can browse by your favorite sport (as I did). Because of the variety of athletes who contributed, the range of recipes goes from traditional "American" fair like Mickey Mantle's Country Fried Steak to Jaromir Jagr's Czech dish, Chicken Paprikash. I recommend this cookbook no matter what your kitchen skills because none of the dishes are overly complex (though some are far more difficult than others)and there is something for everyone. As an added bonus, proceeds for the book go to the Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis and the Women's Sports Foundation. Helping two great causes for buying an excellent cookbook (with some great kitchen shots of the athletes).
