This book is a great resource, particularly for people in living in the Boston area. Unlike most food guides, it isn't really a review of restaurants (though some are included). It focuses on where to find the best butcher, the best bread, and most interesting to me - where to find ingredients for ethnic cooking.My husband and I sometimes pick a style of food we want to prepare - say Middle Eastern - then consult the book for where to find some of the less common ingredients. Because many of the ethnic groceries are in ethnic neighborhoods, we make a day of it by exploring an area we haven't visited before.My only critism of the book therefore, is that the book doesn't include neighborhoods in the index.
