Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

Wrapped sandwiches, the latest culinary trend, are a great new option for healthy and satisfying one-dish meals. Of the several books on wraps that have been released, All Wrapped Up has the most interesting collection of recipes, including wraps for not just lunch and dinner but also breakfast, brunch, even dessert. Some of the wraps call for flour tortillas, others for pita bread, prepared dough for calzone-style wraps, or even rice-paper wrappers. From a simplified, moo-shu inspired filling with Chinese flavorings to Bananas Foster Roll Ups, the recipes in All Wrapped Up are almost as much fun in the kitchen as they are at the table.

Library Journal

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.
